Central Missouri Community Action

At CMCA, we believe in building relationships. We believe a goal-oriented, relational environment creates a culture that promotes the development of personal well-being, social connections, and financial strength of our employees and those we serve. To facilitate positive relationships, we use a team approach, engaging our employees in collaborative work as they support our members together. This approach provides members with a network of support and helps them build and practice the skills necessary to develop healthy, long-term, supportive social connections.

In addition to building strong, goal-oriented relationships, CMCA is also committed to excellence in service. To achieve this goal, we are on a constant quest for actionable data and innovative ideas on how we can improve the work we do and the services we provide.

At CMCA, our commitment to fostering a supportive and inclusive workplace is paramount. We
believe that our core values guide us in creating an environment where every employee feels
valued, respected, and empowered to reach their full potential. These values are the foundation of
our Administration practices and the key to our collective success.
