Community Engagement Events

CCNP has special community events each year. This is a perfect way to get involved with minimal commitment. If you are interested in helping with special events or local initiatives let us know!

Women and Community Promotora Program

Our Women and Community Promotora program is a 10-week program designed to empower women to be advocates for their community. Women from the community receive soft and hard job skills training combined with information on relevant programs and services, and specific guidance on how to effectively engage the community at large. This program is for anyone who wants to become an advocate for their community and is committed to the CCNP’s mission and vision. The 10-week program is offered once per year.

VITA Program

Through our VITA program, your support will help us return over $4.6 million to the community. You will gain customer service and financial skills and experience through becoming a certified VITA IRS tax preparer. Not quite ready to do someone’s taxes? That’s okay! We also need help with greeting, intakes, and general office work.

Youth Leadership Program

Currently looking for a place where you can complete your volunteer hours, discuss current events, or even acquire a paid internship? Designed for youth in Middle School and High School, CCNP’s Youth Leadership program will help you meet your academic goals, gain your first experience in the workforce, and make a difference in your community.
