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.

Violence Prevention Programs
In addition to working toward improved public safety through its neighborhood development programs, the GPCC works with the Communities Partnering 4 Peace collaborative, working with the lead organizations Breakthrough Urban Ministries and the Institute for Nonviolence. These collaboratives support street-level violence intervention workers, case management services, and safe community events in both East and West Garfield Park. The GPCC hosts Light in the Night events twice per week during the summer months as part of this collaborative.
