Early Education & Care is not only critical in preparing children to enter the K-12 system by promoting cognitive growth, meeting their physical needs and supporting their social and emotional development, but also engages families and provides supports and resources they need. Check out these Head Start students in Revere doing the weather forecast. @CAPIC #CommunityActionMA #HeadStart

Always looking to simplify the complex and cumbersome process of figuring out eligibility for public benefits and maximize the supports available for struggling families. Happy to partner with MyFriendBen to bring their tool to Cambridge and the rest of the state. prnewswire.com/news-releases…

Anthony was struggling personally and academically and fell behind in high school. Anthony found a second chance at YouthBuild through Community Teamwork, where he earned his HiSET, gained industry-recognized construction certifications, completed meaningful community service, and developed valuable life skills. With YouthBuild’s support, he transitioned from part-time work to a full-time position with the City of Lowell DPW, earned his Class A CDL, and is now thriving in a stable, rewarding career. Anthony’s success is a powerful example of how YouthBuild empowers young people to reach their full potential and the impact Community Action Agencies have! #impactwednesday #CommunityActionMA

Did you know that Community Action Agencies in MA remained strong and operational during the federal government shutdown, continuing to be creative and innovative in meeting emerging needs - in part due to Community Action line item 7002-0025? We urge MA Senate to include $5M for this line item in the FY27 budget. #CommunityActionChangesLives #CommunityActionMA
