An Open Call for New Community Leaders: The Neighborhood Connection Project

The Neighborhood Connection Project Building Community by Beautifying Community

Greetings Neighbors!

Are you ready to build community by beautifying community?

The Neighborhood Connection Project "NCP" (Learn more about NCP on Facebook and below) is looking for a few good citizens to become a few great community leaders. Is this you? Are you ready to be the leader your community needs you to be? What ideas to beautify your community are you interested in bringing to life?

Join us for a conversation about becoming an NCP community leader no matter what neighborhood you live in, city or suburbs, no matter what experience you have, no matter what background you have. All are welcome. Interested citizens are invited to meet on Wednesday, May 25 from 6:30 PM - 7:45 PM at the Edgebrook Library (5331 W. Devon).

You'll meet with the current group of NCP citizen-leaders, learn about NCP and be able to share your thoughts about how you might want to beautify your community. This will be a fun and casual gathering. Youth welcome. NCP welcomes citizens of all neighborhoods, city and suburbs alike.

Questions? Please ask. Jac.charlier@gmail.com We hope to see you there! Started in Spring of 2010, the Neighborhood Connection Project (NCP) is a democratically gathered, citizen-led initiative to build community by repairing and beautifying the Metra railroad underpass located at Kinzua, Hiawatha and Lehigh. Completed in August 2015, NCP is the largest outdoor public art bricolage mural on Chicago's Northwest side. Thanks to community funds raised and the financial support of After School Matters (ASM), NCP also provided summer internships for 90 local teen apprentices.
