🎉 Celebrating 60 Years of Empowerment! 🎉 Today marks the 60th anniversary of the Economic Opportunity Act, a groundbreaking legislation that transformed lives across the United States. Since 1964, this landmark Act has paved the way for positive change, providing opportunities for economic advancement and breaking the cycle of poverty. In New York, we proudly stand with 47 Community Action Agencies, including JCEO, that carry on the legacy of the Economic Opportunity Act. Together, we've made a difference in the lives of countless individuals and communities in Clinton and Franklin Counties. 🤝 Nationwide, over 1,000 Community Action Agencies continue the vital work of empowering people and enhancing their dignity and self-reliance. Here's to 60 years of progress, empowerment, and making a lasting impact! Let's continue working together for a brighter, more equitable future. Read L.B.

About us
JCEO is dedicated to providing resources and services that enhance people’s dignity and self-reliance. For over 50 years JCEO has been providing comprehensive services to the low income community in Clinton and Franklin Counties. As one of 60 Community Action Agencies in the state of New York, we continue to promote and implement an environment in which consumers take an active role in their pursuit of self-sufficiency. At JCEO, 96% of the consumers who utilize the Community Action Agency’s services are temporarily in need and are not on any form of public assistance. They are the working poor, the elderly, and the severely sick. They are widows, orphans and sometimes simply the unlucky who have landed suddenly in crisis. At times like these, it is a relief to know there is help available. JCEO is ready to assist you today.
