About Us
Great Lakes Community Action Partnership has been serving the northwest Ohio area for more than 50 years. We began in 1965 as WSOS Community Action Commission following the Economic Opportunity Act of 1964, which helped create hundreds of community action agencies throughout the United States. Our letters stood for the core counties we served — Wood, Sandusky, Ottawa, and Seneca. Since then, we have progressively expanded the scope of our services, adding other counties, states and even countries to our service area.

Fostoria YouthBuild trains youth, helps community
Great Lakes Community Action Partnership is now recruiting young adults for its Fostoria YouthBuild program that begins this July. The program provides construction training, life skills, GED preparation and other workforce experience through classroom learning and hands-on construction. Part of the program includes youth crews working to repair and rehabilitate vacant houses in Fostoria as they earn money through the program and prepare for the future. The program is open to young adults ages 18-24 who reside in the City of Fostoria.
