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 EquityNorth Chicago Community Partners (NCCP) uses a holistic approach to bridge the opportunity gap and support children in North Chicago by leveraging resources from within and around the neighborhood.

It’s always a great day when our friends from Discover come to visit! On Tuesday, 20 volunteers joined us at the Family Care Closet to unload food items from the box truck, organize and restock shelves, and assemble recipe kits for our families. We are so grateful for our partnership with Discover and all they have done for the North Chicago community!
Last weekend we launched our Saturday Enrichment Program at AJK! At Saturday Program, middle school students are provided a safe place to develop important life skills and have fun. Last weekend, students played basketball, volleyball and soccer, created their own marble run out of playdoh, Dixie cups and cardboard, colored with oil pastels, and played board games. Everyone enjoyed pizza and dessert from Luke's of Lake Bluff for lunch and participated in a raffle at the end of the day. Our staff and students had a blast last weekend and can’t wait for the next session on October 15th!
Last week we distributed 450 Drops of Care to the staff of D187 to show our appreciation for a great first month of school! These treats included apple juice, a bag of apple chips, a caramel apple lollipop and an apple coaster hand painted by AbbVie volunteers during the Week of Possibilities. Thank you North Chicago Community Unit School District 187 staff for your hard work and thank you AbbVie volunteers for helping us show D187 staff how much they mean to us! 🍎 #d187together #AbbVieGivesBack
