For Communities
The North Lawndale Community Connections Team is dedicated to fostering a future where all children and families in the North Lawndale community are empowered to succeed. Through three key initiatives, we provide the resources and support necessary for educational attainment and lifelong success:
By working collaboratively with schools, families, and community partners, we strive to create a thriving community where every child has the opportunity to reach their full potential.
A program addressing the critical issue of chronic absenteeism by providing targeted interventions and support to students and their families. Through a combination of academic assistance, attendance incentives, and family engagement activities, we aim to improve school attendance rates and enhance educational outcomes.
Recognizing the importance of early childhood education, this collaboration brings together key stakeholders to develop and implement high-quality early learning programs. By providing access to early childhood education opportunities, we are investing in the future of our community’s children.
A program that empowers parents and caregivers with the knowledge and tools needed to support their children’s academic and social development. Through parent-driven workshops, trainings, and resources, we support parents to be active partners in their children’s education and advocate for their needs.
