North Chicago Community Partners

NCCP was founded in 2008 to help address the negative effects of inequitable school funding in North Chicago and raise awareness of the need for educational opportunities for all children. During the past 15 years, NCCP has evolved from an altruistic idea into an impactful organization that leverages the resources of the broader community. NCCP provides a menu of programs and services that complement classroom instruction, enhance student learning, and support whole child and family development.
