Description
Community Action Partnership of Ramsey & Washington Counties is part of a national nonprofit network that helps 17 million low-income Americans annually achieve economic security. Closer to home, we help low-income households in Ramsey and Washington counties achieve success each year.
For over 50 years, Community Action has provided a local, flexible, single point of entry for programs that lift people up. Whether it's early childhood education, transportation, saving for a home, getting an education or raising awareness, we strive to help people become independent and have a voice in our community - and to make America a better place to live.
At Community Action, we continuously stay in touch with the needs of our community, looking for new ideas and new understandings about the issues that low-income individuals and families face.
Volunteers: We match volunteers with opportunities that are meaningful and meet their scheduling needs. By helping those in need, our volunteers develop new skills, gain practical and rewarding experience, build teams, and promote active community participation. Volunteers at Community Action reach out, help people become more self-sufficient, and change people's lives - one person, one family, one neighbor at a time. https://caprw.org/take-action/volunteer.html
