The Promise of Community Action

Community Action changes people's lives, embodies the spirit of hope, improves communities, and makes America a better place to live. We care about the entire community and we are dedicated to helping people help themselves and each other.

 


About Community Action

Community Action Agencies (CAAs) are nonprofits originally established under the Economic Opportunity Act of 1964 to fight America's War on Poverty. Today, North Dakota has seven CAAs on the front-lines of the battle. These seven agencies provide essential services to every region and all 53 counties of the state.

CAAs enable low-income people of all ages to secure the opportunities they need to obtain and maintain economic security.

  • We serve the collective interests of our members and low-income population of the state through representation and education.

  • Our seven Community Action Agencies provide essential services to every region and all 53 counties in the state. Learn more about our programs here.

  • Attend a workshop, schedule a Poverty Simulation, or become more informed on the issues. Extend a helping hand in your community today.
