Overview & Mission Statement

Community Programs emerged from Future Little Rock to address quality of life issues and to provide a greater array of services needed and desired by citizens. Authorized by the City Board in 1996, Community Programs strive to improve the quality of life for Little Rock citizens by administering programs that provide education, training, prevention, intervention, treatment, and supportive services in a cost effective, measurable manner. With community support, funds were appropriated for various initiatives. These initiatives are Workforce Development, Prevention, Intervention, and Treatment, and the ATOD Initiative.
