Utah Community Action is a multi-faceted agency that helps low-income individuals and families overcome barriers to self-sufficiency. Utah Community Action helps remove these barriers through six core programs.
To find and implement the best solutions to poverty, Utah Community Action frequently works with community members and organizations like the following:
Utah Community Action’s mission is to empower individuals, strengthen families, and build communities through self-sufficiency and education programs.
APPRECIATION – We recognize and enjoy the positive contributions of others.

INTEGRITY – We exemplify the highest standards of honesty and accountability.
RESPECT – We have admiration for each individual’s unique strengths and perspectives.
TRUST – We have confidence that the agency and staff will consistently act with the best of intentions.
Helps adults with low- to moderate-income levels get access to courses and certifications that can help them work toward self-sufficiency.
