*ORGANIZATION DESCRIPTION:*
The Community Training and Assistance Center (CTAC) is a
minority-controlled organization with a thirty-two year record of
success in low-income communities. CTAC provides technical assistance to
school systems, state departments of education, and community-based
organizations to improve education, health, and community and
neighborhood revitalization in cities and states throughout the country.
There are three primary components to this support: on-site technical
assistance, research and evaluation services, and public policy support.
CTAC’s community development team provides community-based groups with
training and assistance to manage responsive organizations, to organize
communities and to develop effective services and advocacy based on
resident or constituent-identified needs. CTAC particularly focuses on
efforts that develop and implement resident or constituent-led models
that create systemic and institutional change and address root causes of
poverty through community organizing. CTAC provides support to build the
organizational and development capacity of emerging and experienced
organizations and coalitions in low income and multi-racial communities;
implement effective public/private partnerships; and strengthen the
capacity of nonprofit and governmental systems.
CTAC is particularly sensitive to the needs of disenfranchised
communities. In response to the severity of problems confronting
low-income communities, CTAC continues to respond to the increasing
needs of the most severely disenfranchised low-income groups concerned
with neighborhood revitalization, economic development, education,
immigration, workers’ rights, youth, environmental justice, human
rights, health and human services, and other issues.
