Proteus was created by the Tulare County Community Action Agency to help address the growing poverty level in the region. In the beginning. Proteus provided English language. adult literacy. and vocational training for poor adults. In the years to come. Proteus developed other programs to help incorporate the needs of nonfarm workers. as well as migrant and seasonal farmworkers. and refugees. As the functions of Proteus changed and grew. the focus of the agency underwent various adaptations as well. The need for family counseling became a priority for rural communities. and related services such as money management. family maintenance and parenting classes were provided.
