With our collaborative partners, community resources, and strength-based leadership, we coordinate and mobilize comprehensive training and technical assistance vital to building and sustaining an enriched community.
Description
Founded in 1979, Long Beach Community Action Partnership (LBCAP) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit. It is one of 1,100 community action agencies established under the Federal Economic Opportunity Act of 1964 to fight America’s War on Poverty.
We are governed by a 12-member tripartite board of directors, with members from the low income, public and the private sectors. Our unique board structure reflects and promotes anti-poverty leadership. They are responsible for ensuring that we assess and actively respond to poverty in our community.
Throughout eastern Los Angeles County and in Long Beach, LBCAP provides a variety of free services to low-income individuals and families that have experienced educational, social, or economic barriers to self-sustainability.
