1.5 million North Carolinians live in poverty. We work to break the cycle that keeps them there.
Here's how.
COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT
Our agencies' unique tripartite board structure provides low-income individuals a seat at the decision-making table alongside public and private sector representatives to identify the issues their communities face and develop solutions to resolve them

RESULTS-ORIENTED
MANAGEMENT
Our agencies engage in continuous self-examination using a complete management and accoun tability process to ensure our strategies produce measurable change.
TRAINING
We believe lasting change is made when communities work together. We collaborate with community members, local governments, public and private partners and thousands of local volunteers to invest in holistic community-based anti-poverty strategies.
We empower our agencies to help low-income people receive the tools and resources they need to become independent of public programs and services.
We facilitate conversations and trainings that enable community members to gain a better understanding of the struggles, challenges, and issues facing disadvantaged and low-income communities and emerge better equipped to serve them.
ADVOCACY
We give voice to the needs, concerns and stories of NC's disadvantaged and low-income citizens and demonstrate the collective impact of community action agencies to local decision makers.
