KOOTASCA Community Action

Founded by local citizens in 1965, KOOTASCA Community Action helps individuals, families, and communities fight the multiple causes and challenges of poverty.

  • Through comprehensive crisis support, anti-poverty services, and partner referral, we help people to help themselves make meaningful change in their lives and journey out of poverty.
  • Our mission, “Building Community to End Poverty,” is a collaborative effort with our community to change attitudes and mindsets about poverty, to change the systems that affect people in poverty, and to engage all community members in creating a community that provides opportunities for everyone.

Recognizing Our Staff

The heart of Head Start is the people who make it possible.

This Head Start Awareness Month, we’re recognizing the teachers, family advocates, cooks, administrators, volunteers and so many others who show up for children and families every day.

At KOOTASCA, our team of just over 50 Head Start professionals help families every day through connecting, listening, and following up to ensure they receive the support needed. KOOTASCA's staff takes the extra step for our families to lay a strong foundation to make a lasting difference for children and families in our communities.

Thank you to our incredible staff for everything you bring to our community.
