Gary Community Partnership's 2019 Community Cleanup Program was a success!  We learned so much in our first year and this year we are doing event more!

In 2020 we are targeting our youth to become an active part of the community!  Summer jobs are scarce but when you give some of your time and energy to the community,  you are rewarded for your giveback!
This is what we call the "Cycle" of community.

 support

 ​Every neighborhood needs the support of its people to produce change.   This includes the city's Constituent Services who also helped volunteer with us in the community! 
It's a fact - When people come together, change is possible!  It starts with a vision that we as residents have a direct impact on the area where we live.  It then requires faith and action!  We are successful because we as residents, community activist, and passionate members of society  know that change is possible in Gary.  Become part of the movement to Reimagine Gary today!

Get Involved
​If you are successful, it is because somewhere, sometime, someone gave you a life or an idea that started you in the right direction. Remember also that you are indebted to life until you help some less fortunate person, just as you were helped.

Youth Empowerment is an opportunity to teach teens with work ethics that lead to success!  We start our weekend cleanup projects at 7am to teach the value of early morning productivity!  We teach the cycle of reciprocity - Giving and then Receiving!  Teens work for two hours and then receive a stipend that day for the investment they make.  These are principles that when practiced over time will pay off as the become adults! Everyone can be successful however success is intentional and is not by perhaps!  
Special Thanks To Our Partners
