Community Council

The Community Council began in 1939 as an agency to coordinate all community services such as welfare, health, education and civic clubs. The Community Council, then known as the Council of Social Agencies, first met at the old Presbyterian Hut beside West Davis Street. Today a typical meeting of the Community Council involves hundreds of lay and professional people who discuss Alamance County problems which deal with many of the same areas covered in their first meetings in 1939. However, today the Community Council not only coordinates the county's numerous social services, but also conceives, plans and begins new agencies and task forces to meet community needs.  Community Council is made up of Alamance County volunteers and professionals in social services, recreation, education, health agencies, government, business, and representatives of civic and church organizations. Selected members' goals include:

• Promote cooperation and community planning

• Serve as information center for the community

• Stimulate continuous and systematic study of community needs and resources

• Formulate principles, methods and standards for improvements

• Stimulate and/or initiate needed new services

• Develop public awareness of community problems and possible solutions
