SUMMARY/DISCUSSION:
Monterey County Community Action Partnership (MCCAP) is a publicly operated Community Action Agency (CAA) supported by the Monterey County Department of Social Services. MCCAP is committed to reducing poverty in our community by funding a network of local providers who specialize in addressing specific barriers to achieving self-sufficiency. MCCAP’s overall mission is to develop, maintain, and evaluate community services that empower individuals and families, living at or below the federal poverty limit, to improve their quality of life.
The purpose of this agreement is to gain access to Community Action Virtual Onboarding (CAVO) Course, which has been made available to interested CAAs by the California Community Action Partnership Association (CalCAPA). CalCAPA serves local CAAs throughout the state of California. CAVO is an interactive, holistic virtual onboarding experience that allows agencies to guide employees, volunteers, board members, clients, and partners through a learning journey for a shared understanding of Community Action, the connected network, performance management, and impact. Portions of the CAVO program were developed using funds from the Community Services Block Grant (CSBG) discretionary allocation #20F-3401 and #20F-4042, provided by CalCAPA.
