“Getting my CCAP helped me to see so much more of what community action is all about, our uniqueness and our potential.  It helped to qualify me for leadership and greater professional opportunities in my field.  Getting your CCAP can be just as beneficial to you, your agency and your community.”

– Thomas Tenorio

CEO of Community Action Agency of Butte County, Inc.
