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.

Over this past year, NCCP welcomed five students from Cristo Rey St. Martin to our team of interns. Each intern played an integral role in preparing projects across the organization. At the end of school year, interns presented their experience working at NCCP to our team and shared the skills they added to their toolbox. Thank you, Cristo Rey St. Martin students, for all your hard work this year! We wish you all the best!

Kindergartners through third graders had so much fun using their cereal charms to practice counting, graphing, adding, subtracting, multiplying and dividing! One student said, I love marshmallows, and math too, this makes it fun! Thank you, Christ Church IL, for hosting such an impactful service event for students across Lake County!
