The Martin Luther King Jr. Adams County Career Aid Project
The Martin Luther King Career Aid Project
The MLK Adams County Career Aid Project (ACCAP) was established by a group of caring community members in 1980 to assist low-income local youth and adults with their post-high school education and training. It is our hope that we can help individuals improve their employability and potential for long term livable wage employment that leads to a successful thriving life. These grants are modest, usually used to cover books, fees, or to fill small funding gaps, and students will need to identify and pursue other resources as well.
The MLK Career Aid Project is a component of South Central Community Action Programs and if funded by donations from the community. To donate, send a check made out to SCCAP, MLK and send it to 153 N. Stratton St., Gettysburg PA 17325 or give electronically by clicking the donate button below. Thank you.
