Our
History
 Citizens Alliance for Progress, Inc., (CAP), is a
non-profit, community
based, multiracial, civic organization. CAP was
founded
in 1982, by a group of concerned African-American citizens living in the
heart of Tarpon Springs,
Florida. CAP was organized for the sole purpose of
acquiring and restoring the previously abandoned Union Academy
Elementary School, where many of the
residents within the community started their
formal education.
Union Academy was not only a center for education, but was also the
focal point of activity, social events and community pride.
In
1986, CAP, along with help from Community Development of Pinellas County
and support from the City of Tarpon Springs, was able to restore
the once abandoned Union Academy School. Renovations to the school
were completed in 1987, and, it was reopened as the Union Academy
Cultural Center. The center is now known
as the Union Academy Family Center.
In addition, CAP was able to hire staff and develop programs, services
and events for the community by successfully applying for and receiving
grants from the Juvenile Welfare Board of Pinellas County and local
foundations.
