By focusing on developing new community leaders through its network of "core teams," Pilsen Neighbors Community Council (PNCC) has worked in alliance with churches, community based organizations and schools to make its voice heard on education funding reform, economic development, and universal healthcare. PNCC trains and equips clergy, principals and neighborhood leaders to organize residents who desire a voice in public policy decisions affecting their lives. PNCC has been the vehicle through which residents have organized and won many victories, among them, Eighteenth Street Development Corporation, Benito Juarez Communty Community Academy El Valor Corporation, Esperanza School, and a handful of local schools.
