CAP Infinity 2.0: Continuous Improvement Program

CAP (Community Action Program) Infinity 2.0 is a continuous improvement program designed specifically for Community Action Agencies. CAP Infinity programming is flexible, offered on-demand and at a learners own pace. It is designed to provide all staff with baseline knowledge and how to implement continuous improvement principles in the day to day.

We’re thrilled to introduce CAP Infinity 2.0! We've upgraded our original CAP Infinity courses by incorporating user feedback and insights from Community Action and continuous improvement experts. CAP Infinity 2.0 emphasizes how continuous improvement is woven into the fabric of Community Action work. The courses spotlight practical tools and techniques that can be immediately implemented, and they introduce the Organizational Wellness Model — a holistic approach to fostering continuous improvement throughout an entire organization. We’ve enhanced the focus on Community Action to showcase what makes our network unique, the support we provide, and the mission we serve.
