The Community Action Partnership (the Partnership), is a national nonprofit membership organization links the nation’s 1,000+ Community Action Agencies (CAAs) to each other and leaders looking for solutions that connect Americans to greater opportunity.
Our mission is to “ensure that the causes and conditions of poverty are effectively addressed and to strengthen, promote, represent and serve its Network of member Agencies”.
We believe in the promise that everyone should have access to the opportunity for success. The Community Action Network is very person-centered and has always been guided by a deep commitment to the value of Maximum Feasible Participation. This value is actualized through the inclusion of customer and community voice at all levels.
The network is inspired by President Lyndon B. Johnson’s War on Poverty and the advocacy of the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. The Economic Opportunity Act of 1964 created the Community Action Network of national and locally focused organizations that connect millions of individuals and families to greater opportunity.
