2010 National Community Action Month

Community Action: The Power of Partnerships

Community Action: The Power of Partnerships, the 2010 National Community Action Month (May) Planning Guide, is designed to help you tell your partnership stories as you celebrate your CAA’s success working with other groups and individuals to help low-income Americans achieve economic security, especially in these tough financial times.

The guide contains sample news releases—which can be tailored to reflect how your agency has established and maintained partnerships to fight poverty—a sample Community Action Month proclamation, and examples of successful local and national Community Action partnerships.

Also included are nomination forms for the Partnership’s Sargent Shriver Achievement Award and Jayne Thomas Grassroots Volunteer Award. Award winners will be honored during the 2010 Annual Convention in Boston, which also features the theme “Community Action: The Power of Partnerships.”
