Welcome to the official website for the United Communities Against Poverty (UCAP), where more members of the community will be exposed to the vital programs that we offer. At UCAP, our dedicated staff work diligently to accomplish our mission to Alleviate poverty, Improve community relations, and Maximize the quality of life for the diverse residents of Prince George's County, MD.
Since our inception, UCAP has been dedicated to serving the needs of the community. UCAP is a mission driven nonprofit advocating for communities that are disproportionately affected by poverty, inadequate health access, educational imbalances, homelessness, and unemployment. UCAP believes that in order to positively sustain community, specifically Prince George’s County residents, that dedication to recovery and reinvestment is vital. UCAP is devoted to doing just that.
Through programs sponsored by UCAP, residents of Prince George’s County, MD, can regain their dignity and respect by increasing their skills in order to prepare for meaningful employment, and achieve academic enhancement through GED preparation classes. Our grants also support economic hardships such as avoiding evictions and paying utility bills. Our after school and scholarship programs afford our children with opportunities to begin succeeding early in life. These resources are a means to allowing each individual representative, and subsequently, the entire community to recover economically and educationally.
Please visit our site often as we are continually adding new workshops, educational seminars, and information to help improve the lives of residents in Prince George’s County.
Please join us on November 10, 2009 for our Annual Awards Dinner & Silent Auction. We will recognize corporate, nonprofit and community leaders, veterans as well as individuals who have demonstrated exceptional support in assisting UCAP achieve its mission. I would like to express my thanks for our sponsors who are helping to make this event enjoyable and successful. For more information, click the “Events” tab at the top banner.
