JNDC is an organization of Chicago-area residents who care deeply about the past, the present, and the future of West Rogers Park and surrounding city and suburban neighborhoods.

We bring people together, coalescing a powerful collective voice for neighborhood improvement. JNDC Advocacy has helped bring millions of dollars in governmental funding into West Rogers Park and surrounding neighborhoods for new and improved parks, upgraded infrastructure, revitalized commercial streets, business support, and lifestyle-enhancing services. We work with elected officials, build bridges within and beyond the Jewish community, and advocate for priorities that ensure the sustainability and vitality of our neighborhoods.
