Accountability begins
with clear responsibility.
The Board of Directors provides organizational oversight while CAP's staff and independent affiliates carry the work into communities. That distinction supports both sound governance and the local decision-making at the heart of the CAP model.
Board service brings fiduciary responsibility, mission stewardship and a commitment to the young people, families and community organizations CAP supports.

Support responsible oversight, organizational integrity and clear expectations for performance.
Sound governance
Guide policy and fiduciary decisions with care, independence and long-term perspective.
Community connection
Strengthen relationships that help CAP and its affiliates serve young people, families and neighborhoods.
