North End Matters

NECIC and the Mansfield Area Y are launching a new study to better understand childcare in Richland county. 

The North End Elder Program is held on the second and fourth Tuesday of each month from noon until 1:30pm. This week's program included lunch and a presentation by Andrew R. Sewell.

The 2017 North End Community Economic Development Plan identified the importance of civic engagement and community participation. As a pillar of American democracy, civic engagement combines education and involvement within the democratic process.

The African American Leadership Initiative (AALI) met for the second AALI Speaks event on Monday March, 11th at NECIC.

We were proud to host February Richland Chamber Afterhours at our Offices!

As a business owner, you have one crucial duty to fulfill to your stakeholders: maximize profit. To do that, you need the most productive employees because your most valuable asset isn’t your equipment, your building, or your technology, it’s your workforce.

You've always wanted to start your own business, but you don't know where to start. Or maybe you recently launched a business but don't have a business plan necessary to get the loans you need. To help you with these and other entrepreneurial aspirations, we''re launching the Business Plan Writing Course and Microloan program. If you complete the course, you will be eligible to apply for a microloan (of at least $500)!

After several requests from business leaders in the community to create diversity programs, NECIC is excited to announce the launch of AALI, the African American Leadership Initiative!

A presentation about the program and applications for CDBG and HOME funds will also be available at the meeting. Staff will be on hand to answer questions.
