The purpose of the Capital Area Community Voices Web site is to encourage both community members and community organizations working to improve well-being in Mid Michigan by providing access to local and national Community Voices initiatives, access to data and information, information regarding local neighborhoods, community organizations, and CACVoices partners, information about health and the environment, events, community news and on-line forums.

The overarching goal of the Web site is to cultivate a robust, community driven space through which a diverse set of user groups can disseminate, share, and learn about the community in which they live, guided by the underlying belief that a community must consider health broadly, and must be given the space and support to make and foster community well-being and health from within.
