DuCAP Fundraising

The DuPage County Area Project, or DuCAP, is a non-profit organization which empowers local residents, organized as Neighborhood Action Club, to take action aimed at encouraging youth to make positive choices.  Through the engaging of parents and families, and the development of various programs, these youth are provided with the means to empower themselves, to better themselves, and to enrich their communities.

DuCAP accomplishes this by:
•Identifying community needs and concerns and organizing Neighborhood Action Clubs (NAC) to actively respond to them.
•Supporting the communities in their efforts to alleviate conditions which put youth at risk.
•Assisting Neighborhood Action Clubs in identifying and utilizing available resources.
•Recruiting and organizing local residents to develop and become involved in the promotion of positive youth development activities.
•Providing positive role models and constructive activities in order to mold a safer and more productive community.
•Serving as an advocate on behalf of the NAC.
•Networking with local agencies and organizations to reinforce community involvement.
•Establishing Neighborhood Action Clubs to serve as a formal advisor at each DuCAP site.
•Increasing youth participation in the DuCAP programs and activities.
•Establishing DuCAP offices or facilities for our developing sites.
•Enhancing public awareness of DuCAP's mission.
•Discovering potential sites within DuPage & Will County that would benefit from our services.

But funding for social programs is often tenuous at best, and it is with this in mind that we are reaching out to you- the online community.  With your help, we can continue to fund and operate the programs which bring positive options and activities in to these children's lives.
