Pilsen Neighbors Community Council

Pilsen Neighbors Community Council is a grassroots organization that was founded in 1954. Its organizing efforts focus on civil rights issues such as education, health care, housing and immigration reform. They are responsible for ground breaking events in the Pilsen neighborhood of Chicago, Illinois, in the United States. PNCC was the lead organization in helping build Alivio Medical Center, that is now a very important institution in the Pilsen neighborhood. They are also instrumental in the building of Benito Juarez High School.

PNCC focuses on developing new community leaders through its network of "Core Teams". PNCC has worked in alliance with Churches, other community-based organizations and schools to make its voice heard on a path to citizenship, education funding reform, economic development, and universal healthcare.

Through its core teams, PNCC provides training and resources to clergy, principals, and community leaders, enabling them to mobilize residents who seek to influence public policy decisions that impact their communities. PNCC has played a pivotal role in facilitating residents' successful efforts in various initiatives, including the Eighteenth Street Development Corporation, Benito Juarez High School, El Valor Corporation, Esperanza School, Pilsen Alliance, and several local schools.
