The Center for Community Planning is a non-profit organization that provides community planning education and support to residents and organizations throughout New Jersey. We empower people in communities to become a voice of change by providing unique and tailored training programs and workshops designed to bridge the gap between planning organizations and the communities they serve.
The mission of the Center for Community Planning is to build the capacity of local residents, particularly young people, to create culturally relevant, collaborative, inclusive and stakeholder driven plans for their communities. Through our extensive partnerships, we work to connect residents and youth to the elected officials, community based organizations and planning projects in their neighborhoods. Our ultimate goal is to educate and inspire people to be an integral part in shaping the communities they want for themselves, their neighbors and their families.
