Goals for the Communities We Serve
West
Texas Opportunities (WTO) was created for the purpose of administering
the Economic Opportunity Act of 1964 and its subsequent amendments. WTO
is dedicated to the proposition that the United States can achieve full
economic and social potential as a nation only if every individual, regardless
of race, creed or sex, has the opportunity to develop to the full extent
of his or her capabilities. WTO has as its objectives:
1.
To help the communities we serve mobilize resources to combat poverty.
This can be achieved most efficiently through involvement of the disadvantaged
in planning, policy-making and the operation of the programs that involve
their lives.
2.
To provide through action and policy the objective to increase the capacity
of the individuals, groups and companies affected by poverty to deal effectively
with their own problems in order to become self-sustained members of the
community and society in which they live.
West Texas Opportunities is an equal opportunity employer.
Auxiliary aids and services are available upon request to individuals with disabilities.
