C.A.P. Principles:

• Contribute… by volunteering time and personal skills, talents, abilities, experience and passion around issues in service to the community.
• Achieve… by displaying a bias toward action and performance, overcoming obstacles and setbacks, and accomplishing goals.
• Pay-it-forward… by impacting the lives of others in meaningful and positive ways through random and planned acts of kindness, caring, and “giving back.”
