Commission on Economic Opportunity (CEO) is Rensselaer County's Community Action Agency. We believe that people have the power to change. We believe that everyone can build the life they want if they have the right tools. And, we believe that rising out of poverty isn’t about handouts – it’s about empowerment.

Our services empower people to develop independence in all life areas. CEO gives people the tools they need to build financial stability and lead healthier, happier lives. Our programs work with individuals, families, and the larger community to improve quality of life by meeting social, emotional, financial, and educational needs.
