Community Action Network (CAN) envisions the closing of socio-economic gaps by providing educational and enrichment programs for children and teens, supportive services for families who are under-resourced, and challenging systems rooted in racism and inequality.
Team members are culturally competent and passionate about empowering families to acquire the resources they need to thrive, building meaningful relationships to understand and respond to the needs of families, and being a positive mentor to children & youth. They are strong collaborators and communicators, and they are willing to take initiative to provide the best possible programs and services.
CAN is committed to providing equal employment opportunity to all individuals without regard to race, color, national origin, sex, sexual orientation, religion, age, marital status, height, weight, or the presence of a non-job related medical condition or disability. Hiring decisions will be based upon full consideration of all applications for positions in the agency and will seek to hire the most qualified individual.
