Education & Child Development 2020 Impact Award – Carrie Rabe
Our services prioritize children and families experiencing vulnerable conditions through differentiated programming that support families towards economic prosperity. CAP provides home-based and center-based services with extended day options. Our services align with a 2 generational approach of supporting the caregiver and child with escaping poverty.
The work that we do wouldn’t and couldn’t be possible without our hardworking and dedicated staff.
The Education & Child Development Impact Award is given to someone who has exemplified CAP values and has gone above and beyond for the program, children, and families.
This year, we’re proud to announce Carrie Rabe, Family Community Engagement Liaison as this year’s recipient!
