Mission

KVCAP's mission is to strengthen individuals, families and communities by providing direct services and by partnering with others to create sustainable solutions to poverty in an ever-changing environment.

About

Community services are comprised of two divisions: (1) community initiatives and social services, and (2) transportation. The community initiatives and social services division operates a teen center, resource navigator program, and facilitates the poverty action coalition. The South End Teen Center serves youth from grades 6 through 12 with members participating in community service projects, working part-time, and all focused on completing the school year and/or graduating high school. The resource navigator program provides case management services to clients referred through other KVCAP programs to receive support and resources to help address a financial crisis, as well as, provide employment services that include work-ready classes and organizing job fairs. The Poverty Action Coalition (PAC) was formed in 2014 with the mayor of Waterville and other community partners concerned about the growing number of families living in poverty. The PAC's primary initiative, Community Investors, draws on the resources of the larger community to help individuals and families who are facing a crisis that threatens their stability and when no other resources exist. This division also implements the Maine Families home visiting program and the Kennebec/Somerset Family Enrichment Council. Maine Families works in partnership with expectant parents and parents of children birth to age three, to ensure safe home environments and promote healthy growth and development. The Family Enrichment Council focuses on the prevention of child abuse and neglect and includes such programming as personal body safety classes and Baby Think It Over programs with school-aged children. The transportation division has two components: (1) operating public transit services in the Augusta, Waterville, and Skowhegan areas through the Kennebec Explorer, Somerset Explorer, and 'Move More Kids' public bus system, and (2) providing door-to-door transportation through a network of over 100 volunteers and several agency vehicles for medical and social service appointments. Some of the rides provided by the Somerset Explorer during the summer months are free of charge through the 'Move More Kids' program, which extends routes to locations where youth can participate in physical activities and promote a healthy lifestyle.
