Our Vision

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

Our 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.

How Does ILAACP Accomplish its Mission?

The ILAACP has identified the following four "pillars" to assist us with achieving our mission:

• Raise public awareness and consciousness about the social and health disparities negatively affecting Illinois' African-American communities.
• Identify, assess, and promote effective and culturally competent prevention and early intervention programs, policies and strategies.
• Build the capacity of African-American organizations to provide high quality prevention and early intervention services through training, coaching, and evaluation.
• Increase funding and resources for ILAACP members by educating Illinois' legislators, taxpayers, and others about the cost-effectiveness of prevention and early intervention.
