HARCATUS embraces diversity and our mission is to improve the quality of life for individuals and families by minimizing the effects of poverty, promoting self-sufficiency and advocating for positive change. We are an equal opportunity organization and our services are provided without prejudice.

HARCATUS must have two low-income representatives from each of the three counties served.
As a federally recognized Community Action Agency, HARCATUS is required to have representation from the low-income population (democratically selected), public sector (by appointment), and private sector (by appointment) of each county we serve (Harrison, Carroll, and Tuscarawas). Low-income representation is a vital part of how we determine the current needs of the low-income community and the best ways to address those needs. To represent the low-income population, an individual must be democratically selected through the HARCATUS low-income election process.
By serving on the HARCATUS Board of Directors you can positively impact the lives of so many residents in our tri-county service area. Strengthening individuals and families leads to stronger, more stable communities.
