sobre nosotros

nuestra misión
La misión de Community Action Lehigh Valley es mejorar la calidad de vida mediante la construcción de una comunidad en la que todas las personas tengan acceso a oportunidades económicas, la capacidad de aprovechar esa oportunidad y una voz en las decisiones que afectan sus vidas.
¿Por qué acción comunitaria?
Las Agencias de Acción Comunitaria (CAA) son organizaciones públicas o privadas sin fines de lucro cuyo desarrollo fue fomentado por el gobierno federal en 1964 para combatir la pobreza en sus comunidades locales. Involucran a todos los sectores de la comunidad—funcionarios electos, representantes del sector público y especialmente residentes de bajos ingresos—en el desarrollo de programas que aborden las causas y condiciones de la pobreza en sus comunidades.

CONOZCA NUESTRA JUNTA DE ACCIÓN COMUNITARIA
El órgano de gobierno de la Corporación es el Directorio. La Junta Directiva tiene la supervisión, control y dirección de los asuntos de la Sociedad.
​
Al menos un tercio de los Directores representan organizaciones designadas por la Junta cuyos miembros son predominantemente personas de bajos ingresos. Se eligen de acuerdo con procedimientos de selección democráticos adecuados para asegurar que representen a las personas de bajos ingresos en el área atendida por Community Action. No es necesario que sean personas de bajos ingresos, pero el procedimiento de selección garantiza que representen a personas de bajos ingresos.
​
Un tercio de los Directores son funcionarios públicos electos en ejercicio de sus funciones o sus representantes. El resto de los Consejeros son personas fÃsicas.
