Lifeline Community Development Corporation

“Everyone no matter how rich has a need. Everyone no matter how poor has a gift.
That is why we build and celebrate community.”

LifeLine Community Development Corporation (CDC) sees every person as gifted and able to bless others. LifeLine CDC envisions communities where people who have benefited from the gifts of others find ways to give back out of their own unique skills and resources. Together we discover the assets in a neighborhood and community (asset mapping), mobilize those resources for use (community development), and promote Community in our neighborhoods and Neighborliness in our communities (community events.) We facilitate people getting the resources they need (advocacy), empower people to develop their own skills (training), and enlist a small army of volunteers to make it happen.

We work in specific neighborhoods to empower community members.

Our funded program is the “Youth Leadership Corps”, where youth are involved in graffiti abatement, community beautification and other community-building events. We are adding equipment and training for youth to complete their GED’s, learn computer skills, take on-line classes, gain self esteem and pride in themselves while helping their community.
