PROP's Senior Volunteer Program

Mission Statement

PROP is a community action agency committed to identifying and addressing social, economic, educational, and health needs existing in Maine. We accomplish this mission by eliminating barriers that prevent people from reaching their full potential. PROP strives to be a collaborative leader, visible and recognizable, with efficient and technologically strong performance capabilities. We seek to provide service to a geographically broad area, delivered in a decentralized and customized way by staff who reflect the community. PROP's mandate is to: examine the causes and conditions of poverty in our service area; determine the effectiveness of assistance provided to deal with these causes and conditions; establish priorities to assure the most effective use of available resources to develop, operate, and administer programs to reduce poverty; provide services for unmet needs; promote interagency cooperation and service coordination; and collaborate with the poor and concerned area residents to plan and implement our programs.
