The Northwest Bronx Community and Clergy Coalition is known for its outstanding membership driven, social justice community organizing. The mission of the NWBCCC is to build power through relational organizing and issue campaigns that recruit and train individual and institutional members; energize institutions, win concrete victories that improve material conditions for community members, and change public and private policies that affect the Northwest Bronx. NWBCCC wins policy change on housing, economic development, education, immigration, and other issues of concern to its members. NWBCCC has strong presence in national organizing networks, including the Gamaliel Foundation, the National Training and Information Center (National People's Action), and the Center for Community Change.

We want a neighborhood where engaged local grassroots community leadership are able to effectively win policy demands through negotiating with elected officials and other power brokers and transfer leadership skills to local residents in order to build a model for responsible community and youth development. We want an active citizenry that ensures democracy, and a local government that provides basic human needs like quality housing and education, healthcare, jobs with dignity, and a clean and healthy environment.
