Mission Statement

The mission of Norris Square Civic Association is to empower Norris Square residents to improve their lives by becoming self-reliant, and to unite and build the community through the development and improvement of the physical, economic, social, cultural, and educational aspects of the neighborhood.

Description

Norris Square Civic Association (NSCA) is a community development corporation founded in 1983 by a group of community women who desired to take control of their neighborhood and provide a healthy and safe environment for their children. NSCA serves the predominately Latino community residing on the blocks surrounding Norris Square Park in Philadelphia, PA. Norris Square residents are active at every level of the organization, serving on the staff and board and lending their voice through community forums and surveys.

For over 29 years, NSCA has responded to the needs of the community by providing comprehensive solutions such as affordable housing, community organizing, employment training, early childhood education, youth after-school and summer enrichment programs, homeownership counseling and comprehensive case management services.
