Gateway Community Action Agency Earns Silver Tier Pathways to Excellence Recognition


We are proud to announce that our agency has achieved Silver Tier recognition through the Pathways to Excellence Program, a national initiative of the National Community Action Partnership (NCAP).

This recognition signifies that our agency has completed all requirements necessary to demonstrate a verified commitment to organizational excellence. Through the Pathways to Excellence Program, we learned about the 35 Community Action Standards of Excellence, assessed our current practices through structured self-studies, and received peer feedback to strengthen operations and outcomes.

Silver Tier designation confirms that the our Agency has taken documented steps toward excellence, including formal Board commitment, staff and Board engagement, completion of national training, participation in technical assistance, and submission of a written self-study examining multiple Standards of Excellence categories.
