About Us

The Loyola Center for Neighborhood Resilience collaborates with neighborhood and community organizations, local government agencies, schools, businesses, and faith-based partners along the York Road corridor to empower all residents to thrive.

Through youth leadership, health outreach, food access, environmental stewardship, and neighborhood partnerships, we strengthen diverse, intergenerational communities.

We strive to overcome a legacy of systemic barriers, while building on the strengths of the community and organizing across our differences.

Our Values

Collective Care
We believe that the health and wellbeing of a community is a shared responsibility. We work together with our partners to achieve our goals and outcomes.
Integral Ecology
We believe in the interconnectedness of social, economic, and environmental justice.
Systems Approach
We understand that there are past and present individual, interpersonal, and institutional forces that work together to contribute to a neighborhood’s success.
Empowering Leaders
We believe that youth and marginalized populations deserve to have voice and agency. We train leaders with lived experience and see their unique identities as valuable in identifying and solving problems.

Our Center's Framework

A wheel showing 7 pillars and vital conditions that altogether equate to belonging and civil muscle. These 7 pillars are a thriving natural world, basic needs for health and safety, humane housing, meaningful work and wealth, lifelong learning, and reliable transportation.The Center’s work is grounded in the Vital Conditions for Health and Well-Being, a framework that includes 7 pillars critical to a community’s ability to thrive. Through our work and that of our partners, the Center supports neighborhoods in building the vital conditions necessary for long-term well-being.
