NORWESCAP, THE NORTHWEST NJ COMMUNITY ACTION PARTNERSHIP WAS INCORPORATED BY LOCAL CITIZENS IN 1965 AND CELEBRATED ITS? 50TH ANNIVERSARY IN 2015. THE ORGANIZATION PROVIDES A PORTFOLIO OF EMERGENCY SERVICES AND OTHER INITIATIVES THAT LEAD TO SELF-RELIANCE TO OVER 35,000 UNDER-RESOURCED INDIVIDUALS IN HUNTERDON, MORRIS, PASSAIC, SOMERSET, SUSSEX AND WARREN COUNTIES. WITH AN ADMINISTRATIVE COST OF LESS THAN 5%, THE AGENCY MANAGES OVER 35 MILLION DOLLARS FROM 60 DIFFERENT SOURCES, PLUS INVESTMENTS FROM OVER 300 COMMUNITY PARTNERS. A DIVERSE 15-MEMBER BOARD OF TRUSTEES, 250 EMPLOYEES AND 1400 VOLUNTEERS ARE DEDICATED TO OUR MISSION; "STRENGTHENING COMMUNITIES BY CREATING OPPORTUNITIES TO IMPACT POVERTY." NORWESCAP HAS HAD A LONG TERM RELATIONSHIP WITH CNCS OPERATING RSVP AND SEVERAL AMERICORPS PROJECTS IN THE PAST. THEY HAVE PROVED TO BE A VALUABLE RESOURCE TO THE COMMUNITY AND TO THE AGENCY. IN THE ORGANIZATION'S STRATEGIC PLAN, COMMUNITY BUILDING AND CAPACITY BUILDING WERE ITEMS THAT WERE IDENTIFIED TO BE ADDRESSED. AS PART OF THAT STRATEGY, IT WAS RECOGNIZED THAT THE ORGANIZATION DOES NOT HAVE THE FINANCIAL RESOURCES OR STAFF TO ACCOMPLISH THOSE NEEDS. AS A RESULT, TOOLS LIKE AMERICORPS VISTA ARE BEING SOUGHT TO HELP MAKE THESE IMPORTANT CHANGES.
