About Us

MISSION
The mission of the Beaufort-Jasper Economic Opportunity Commission is to plan and implement human service programs for social and economically challenged individuals. The agency will advocate on the behalf of our customers in such a manner that their quality of life will be enhanced and less dependent upon government subsidies. The ultimate goal is for them to become self-sufficient and productive citizens.


PURPOSE
To provide our customers with a vehicle for the achievement and maintenance of family stability and economic self-sufficiency. The funds we receive from federal, state, and local public and private sources will be to address the areas of employment, housing, health, and nutrition, education and training, social services, emergency assistance, economic development, and effective community relations; all of which can impact, in a positive manner, on the successful quality of life for our customers.
