(Miami-Dade County, FL) -- Created in 1965 as a result of Equal Opportunity legislation. Miami-Dade's Community Action Agency (CAA) is the largest CAA in the southeastern United States, and boasts a nationally recognized Head Start program as well as a number of other notable programs which includes its programs for the elderly and computer-training program.  During the month of May, CAA's across the United States celebrate their accomplishments and continued commitment to fighting the war on poverty.  The theme of this year's celebration is "Sowing the seeds of Change", reflecting on how CAA's continue to improve communities by assisting low-income individuals  and families to become self sufficient.

During the month of May, the Community Action Agency will be holding a series of events and activities to increase awareness about the programs and services they have available to help make a difference in improving the quality of life of Miami-Dade County's poor. Among the events being held will include Community Open House Activities at our Community Enrichment Centers:
