Celebrating 60 years of helping York County families achieve economic self-sufficiency

Community Progress Council works with low- and moderate-income people of all ages in York County to empower them to achieve self-sufficiency and live independent of public supports. We do this by serving the whole family through comprehensive, integrated services.

Navigators serve as a central point of intake to complete a crisis assessment and connect people to supportive services, coaching, and other referrals. No matter your need, our Navigators are the friendly faces you’ll work with first.

Progress toward self-sufficiency requires comprehensive services. Participants are paired with a coach who can help you identify long-term goals, connect you to programs within Community Progress Council and community resources, and support people on their journey to self-sufficiency.

PEOPLE HELPING PEOPLE SINCE 1965

Community Progress Council incorporated on April 8, 1965, and was later officially affirmed as York County’s Community Action Agency.

We are now one of approximately 1,000 community action agencies across the United States, providing innovative, responsive, and efficient programs that are uniquely tailored to support low- and moderate-income people as they move toward financial stability.

Through dedicated relationships, resources, and skill-building programs, Community Progress Council empowers individuals to become productive, involved citizens.

We are proud to be members of the Community Action Association of Pennsylvania and the Community Action Partnership. We are a United Way of York County Partner Agency.
