How
We Began
Organized
in 1965, as part of President Lyndon Johnson’s “War on Poverty”
movement, the agency began as the Scott-Carver Economic Council providing
co-op farming programs, Head Start and Senior Citizen Centers to residents
of Scott and Carver Counties.
The
CAP Agency expanded its service area in 1985, to include residents of
Dakota County. The agency’s name has since been adopted to reflect
this expansion.
Now numerous
programs strong, three counties wide and over 40 years old, the CAP
Agency offers a varied menu of services in each county, and continues
to grow and evolve to reflect its commitment to address the unmet needs
of the community.
