Funded by the US Department of Health and Human Services, the Community Services Block Grant (CSBG) provides an array of funding for local community initiatives, including assistance for program-eligible households in areas such as education, employment, emergencies, housing, nutrition and health care. Community programs are intended to encourage families toward self-sufficiency. CSBG programs are administered during the year by 14 Community Action Agencies located throughout South Carolina with satellite offices in all of the state's 46 counties.
Wateree Community Actions, Inc. utilizes CSBG funds to provide the following services to the community:
    General Emergency Assistance Program (GEAP) - assists program-eligible households with emergencies such as but not limited to: utility bills, food, clothing, and medical services.
    Youth Leadership Program - provides resources that will enhance character building and life-long learning skills, encourage students to practice leadership dynamics, and study lessons in character that foster group discussions centered on buiding leadership skills.  The program is available for youth in grades 9-12.
    Youth Employment Program - provides students with an opportunity to work at neighborhood job sites within their communities during the summer.  Youth are taught employability skills and encouraged toward post-secondary education. In addition to career planning and work experience, students interact with one another and learn to address issues related to peer relationships, family, motivation, and values.
    Academic Camp - serves students in grades 6-8.  This program is a three-wek academic remediation program held during the summer school break, focusing on reading, writing, and mathematics. The TABEcurriculum is used for pre and post testing to determine each student's status of improvement.
