CANASTOTA — William Nicholson joins Community Action Partnership as community services director, bringing decades of experience in human services, from direct care to program administration.

Whether operating residential sites for folks with intellectual disabilities, congregate centers for psychiatric rehabilitation, or most recently facilitating self-directed home-care programs for elderly and disabled persons, CAP officials said Nicholson has always been a fierce advocate for the most vulnerable.

“Nicholson is eager to help CAP through this extended period of recovery from COVID-19, while building resiliency within the community,” officials said. “William resides in Manlius, where he is an elected official, and is also a volunteer with his local Lion’s Club. He holds a degree in Public Affairs and is also a member of Leadership Greater Syracuse. In his free time he enjoys bicycling, performing folk and soul music, and spending time in nature.”

Established in 1986, CAP is a not-for-profit agency in Madison County with a mission to help individuals, families, and children face the challenges of today while building hope for the future. CAP serves the community through a variety of programs including Healthy Families, WIC, and Transitional Housing.
