Community Action Partnership
Avril Weisman's Company Details
The National Community Action Partnership is the nonprofit, national membership organization representing the interests of the 1,100 Community Action Agencies (CAAs) across the country that annually help 17 million low-income Americans achieve economic security. Whether it's a Head Start program, Weatherization, job training, housing, social enterprise, economic development, entrepreneurship training, food bank, energy assistance, financial education, or any of the other 40+ distinct programs, CAAs work to make America a better place to live. In order to help CAAs meet ever-changing community needs, NCAP sponsors an annual convention, publishes a quarterly magazine, provides training and technical assistance opportunities, and a weekly electronic newsletter. The Partnership sponsors a national certification program for individual CAAs ("Pathways to Excellence," based on the Baldrige standards) and a rigorous training program for individual Community Action leaders ("Certified Community Action Professional," CCAP). NCAP handles information requests from the news media and the general public. Our staff can be reached via phone, 202-265-7546, or e-mail, info@communityactionpartnership.com.
