Central Seattle Community Council Federation (Seattle, Wash.)

Hide Profile

The Central Seattle Community Council Federation represents a merger of the Central Area Community Council and the Jackson Street Community Council. The merger was formally approved in February 1967. The Jackson Street Community Council was formed in 1946 under United Good Neighbors (UGN) sponsorship to serve the needs of Seattle's International Area. The "self-help" approach of the Jackson Street Community Council, in combination with UGN support, proved to be extremely effective, and as a result of its success, the Jackson Street Community Council received wide national attention as a paradigm of this type of organization. The Central Area Community Council was formed in 1962 as a volunteer organization designed to bring together representatives from all of the neighborhood and service organizations serving the Central District. The Central Area Motivation Program (CAMP) resulted from a proposal submitted to the Office of Economic Opportunity by this organization. The Central Seattle Community Council was formed to combine the area-wide representation of the Central Area Community Council with the intensive staff support of the Jackson Street Community Council.
