Welcome

Vision:
Safe, healthy, and empowered African-American children, families, and communities.

Mission:
Established in 2005, the Illinois African American Coalition for Prevention (ILAACP) is a statewide, membership-based 501(c)(3) that strengthens early intervention and prevention systems, policies, and programs in African-American communities through culturally-relevant research, training, and advocacy.

ILAACP Needs Assessment Survey

ILAACP is interested in gauging how we can better serve the needs of individuals, agencies and organizations providing early intervention and prevention services to African-American communities located throughout the state. To that end, we are administering a needs assessment survey that will gather information from individuals in four areas. Survey responses will then be incorporated into our strategic planning process.

Quarterly Memebership Meetings

ILAACP's Membership Meetings are attended by early intervention and prevention CEOs, executive directors, advocates, researchers, policymakers, and practitioners. These meetings provide our members a venue for professional networking, resource sharing, and the exchanging of ideas.

Light snacks, refreshments, and lunch are provided.

The next ILAACP Quarterly Meeting will be held on Thursday, January 28,2010 at Little Black Pearl, 1060 East 47th St. Chicago, IL. Our featured speaker will be the newly-appointed Secretary, Department of Human Services, Michelle R. B. Saddler.
