Strengthening Communities Through Schools

We envision communities in which race or zip code no longer predict educational outcomes, where neighbors collaborate to ensure that all children receive what they need to reach their fullest potential.

Invest in Equitable Education for all Children

Get Involved

Join us in the fight for educational equity, one community at a time.

It’s time to celebrate our programmatic partners, family event volunteers, and After School Enrichment Program volunteer groups! All of these groups have a real knack for connecting with students in District 187 schools and engaging them in activities that help to broaden their horizons and build new skills! Some activities these groups help facilitate include sports, academics, literacy, dance, art, music, and more! Thank you to all these volunteers for sharing your time and talent with North Chicago students!

For today’s Volunteer Appreciation Week spotlight, we’d like to recognize our Family Care Closet (FCC) volunteers! The FCC is an NCCP-run school-based food pantry that allows students and families to shop for items they may need, including non-perishable foods, household and hygiene items, and learning resources for students. Family Care Closet volunteers help us organize goods, stock shelves, and assist shoppers. A huge thank you goes out to these volunteers for helping us keep the FCC a warm and welcoming place for families to shop!
