Communities In Action

The Communities in Action (CIA) Project, administered by the Richland County Health Department in Sidney, Montana is implementing a sustainable community building process that combines all aspects of health and economic development to improve quality of life in Eastern Montana. This unique, multi-faceted approach is a response to the modern day needs of frontier life and is established through identifying, developing, implementing, sustaining, and evaluating healthy approaches to community development. CIA places AmeriCorps*VISTAs in communities throughout Eastern Montana to build capacity, reduce poverty and improve quality of life.
