What we plan to cover
Communications & Community Engagement
SSA Community Magazine
In Development — Community Information in One Place.
SSA is developing a community publication designed to bring together useful information, local stories, businesses, resources, opportunities, and events in an accessible format.
The SSA Community Magazine will extend our community communications beyond individual social media posts and announcements by creating a publication people can read, share, keep, and use as a resource.

Connecting Print & Digital Communication
The magazine is envisioned as part of a broader communication network rather than a standalone publication.
Content may connect readers with:
- SSA's website
- Community Calendar
- Business Directory
- Social media
- Partner organizations
- Program registration
- Employment opportunities
- Community resources
Print and digital communication can work together to help information reach people in different ways.
Opportunities for businesses & organizations
Opportunities for Businesses & Organizations
The magazine may also provide opportunities for businesses, nonprofits, agencies, and community partners to reach readers through:
- Advertising
- Sponsored content
- Business profiles
- Job postings
- Sponsorships
- Special features
- Special editions
- Community announcements
Clear distinctions will be maintained between editorial content and paid promotional content.
Revenue generated through advertising and sponsorship opportunities will help support the publication and SSA's broader charitable mission.
A Platform for Community Voices
The magazine will not only distribute information.
It can also provide a platform for community members, professionals, entrepreneurs, organizations, volunteers, educators, community leaders, and partners to share knowledge, stories, opportunities, and perspectives.
Content may also originate from SSA's Stories & Interviews initiative.
