Dupage County Area Project

Ducap south (bolingbrook & romeoville) we have identified key residents and supporters in these neighborhoods and compiled a neighborhood needs assessment. From that assessment we have initiated neighborhood action clubs with the help of residents deliverling many direct service programs such as ice (i can endure), rise up & kiwanis builders clubs. These programs provide a common interest that youth have & give them a positive outlet for their behavior. Relationships are also built with their families and are a resource agent for them to help with their needs.

Ducap north (hanover park, wheaton, glen ellyn & bensenville) we have identified key residents and supporters in various neighborhoods and completed a needs assessment. From that assessment we have initiated neighborhood action clubs. In wheaton and hanover park we are running after school programs such as kiwanis k kids and builders clubs. We also run a community center for marion park apartments (low income housing)in wheaton where children are mentored and their parents are active in their action clubs.
