The GPCC is a community-building organization of dedicated residents and allies working together to develop leaders and create opportunities and programs that build a vital Garfield Park community. The GPCC’s goals focus on renewing the community’s commercial corridors, spurring new housing investment, addressing public safety and wellness, and building connections between neighbors. Programs integrate resident leadership and advocacy to ensure that community members lead neighborhood planning and renewal efforts.

Advocacy
For the past four years, the GPCC has held an annual resident leadership and organizing training, attended by approximately 100 residents. Residents who attend the training go on to work on small collective action campaigns and take on additional volunteer roles in the community or within the organization. The GPCC employs two Resident Organizers, both of whom are long-time community residents. Through a combination of door-knocking, public meetings, and outreach, the GPCC strives to involve the residents most impacted by community developments.
