Factors of Youth Violence
OUR MISSION
Our mission is to provide our participants with technical support services and community-building ideas that will improve their daily lives and uplift their living standards. We are committed to partnering with schools, agencies, and community organizations to open the opportunity to live safe and healthy lifestyles.
We believe the systems that we introduce to communities we engage with offer multiple possibilities and viable solutions in the current world climate that will result in building successful 21st century communities.
OUR VISION
National Community Partnership is an Atlanta based non-profit organization that combines Community Transformation Solutions, Transitional Learning Systems, Outreach Strategies and Training. We work with the four pillars of the community - the Church, the Family, the School, and the Government to develop systems, implement short and long term projects and provide information, training and technical services to support these projects.
