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.

North Chicago Community Unit School District 187’s Multilingual Department kicked off this week with a Bilingual Parent Advisory Committee public speaker event, featuring psychologist Dr. Ferney Ramirez. On Monday, Ramirez talked to the multilingual parents of D187 at North Chicago Community High School about how to raise children to be great leaders.  

While parents listened to Ramirez’ talk, children participated in fun games and activities in the high school’s cafeteria—all of which were centered around Hispanic Heritage Month. NCCP coordinated activities in the cafeteria, including the making of tissue paper flowers, papel picado, coloring, and playing lotería!
