Cowan Community Action Group, Inc.

The Cowan Community Action Group is a nonprofit, tax-exempt community service organization which serves children and families in an economically distressed area of east Kentucky. Our mission is to provide educational and cultural experiences for the entire community. At the Cowan Community Center, we operate a year-round program of after-school activities, music classes, day camps and tutoring for low income and at-risk youth. In 1964, the Cowan Community Action Group established a community center in an abandoned schoolhouse. The Center's programs are directed by the Cowan Community Action Group which continues to be made up of local volunteers who are deeply invested in providing a positive, safe environment for their own and their neighbors' children.
