Programs Overview
As York County’s community action agency, Community Progress Council provides comprehensive, integrated services that offer resources and support for people and families to move toward self-sufficiency.
We work with low- and moderate-income people of all ages in York County to examine their current situations and determine how our programs best align with their needs.
Navigators are the first person to connect with a person seeking help. From there, coaches at a variety of levels help you identify your strengths, and then create a plan to help you use these skills and build others. Coaches can also help you connect with supportive services.
Through coaching, we aim to create a bridge from crisis to self-sufficiency: To help people identify and work toward short- and long-term goals, and move themselves toward independence from external assistance.
We are committed to providing equitable services to all. Our facilities are accessible. Our programs provide translators and interpreters when needed to ensure full access to services.
