Founded in 1965, Community Concepts is a Community Action Agency and a 501c(3) non-profit organization whose mission is to strengthen individuals, families and communities in Western Maine by providing diverse programs, engaging in strategic partnerships, and through advocacy that addresses the barriers to promote economic opportunities for all. We meet our mission by helping children prepare for the future, building family stability and growth, providing home ownership and other housing opportunities, and stimulating economic and community development. Community Concepts delivers services in an efficient and effective manner through an all-volunteer local Board of Directors, 300 committed volunteers, and more than 200 staff, stewarding more than $24 million into the local community each year.
