Our mission simply stated:
Community Progress Council, York
County's Community Action Agency, exists to provide everyone
with the opportunities, resources, and skills to move toward
self-sufficiency. CPC is committed to fairness, diversity,
and inclusion.
Our vision for the future:
Community Progress Council,
through its programs, will be widely recognized as an
effective model of "People Helping People" to survive and
succeed in our richly diverse, ever-changing, interdependent
society. We will be a leader and a partner in establishing
York County as a place where everyone is valued. The
business community and individual will support CPC with
funding and other resources. CPC will access appropriate
public and private funding opportunities. All CPC facilities
will be used to their fullest capabilities. CPC programs
will follow an holistic approach to client assessment and
integrated approach to service deliver. Adequate resources
and technology will be accessible so basic needs can be met.
Economic and social barriers will be bridged in the interest
of promoting growth and stability for individuals and
families in all ages and stages of life, and harmony with
and among all of our communities.
And we believe that:
-
Every person is valuable
-
People want to be
self-sufficient

Self-sufficiency is better
than dependency

Survival needs must be
met for personal growth and stability

Everyone deserves respect,
opportunities, and fair treatment

Parents are the primary
educators
-

effectively benefit the people served
