Child Care

For working parents on Cape Cod, access to high-quality early childhood education and care is a critical need. CCYP supports local, state, and national policies that reduce or mitigate the high cost of child care; increase training, development, and funding support for child care professionals; and offer incentives and program models that increase provider options.

Housing

Cape Cod's housing crisis severely impacts the ability of the region to recruit and retain the next generation of our workforce. CCYP supports local, state, and national policies that increase housing stock, create an array of housing choices to meet all incomes and preferences, and support programs geared to help young professionals purchase a home they can afford.

Advocacy is a team sport!

Over the past two decades, we have worked with hundreds of local organizations, nonprofits, and government agencies. We appreciate our partners, (past and present!) and their work to connect people, ideas, and resources
