Action’s Mission is to improve the
quality of life for low-income members of our
community by minimizing the effects of poverty,
promoting economic security and advocating for
social change.
Founded in 1965
under the Office of Economic Opportunity, today
Action continues to:
·
Establish access to opportunities
through advocacy, a wide range of services and
education and training opportunities to assist
people in the process of self-help;
·
Mobilize resources, public and
private, in order to reduce poverty; and
·
Develop and administer programs with
the maximum feasible participation of the people
served.
Action’s approach
is comprehensive, addressing all aspects of a
person’s well being. Services are coordinated with
colleague agencies to avoid duplication and enhance
benefits and delivered with respect to promote
self-esteem, empowerment and confidence.
