Development

We make child health and development assessments, early education and care, and referral to community resources accessible to youth and families.

Who Is NCA?

Nevada Community Action Association is a coalition of 12 action agencies in Nevada funded by the Community Services Block Grant (CSBG). Together, they develop strategies to address poverty across the state and provide training opportunities. Our ultimate goals are to empower action agencies to eliminate poverty and support those suffering from it.
