Our Mission
The Civic Consulting Alliance helps Chicago's public and private sectors solve our city's biggest issues together.
Our Focus
CCA serves the residents of Chicago by improving government outcomes. We focus on the services that residents need most:
- In public education, our efforts help ensure every student who graduates from the Chicago Public Schools is ready for postsecondary education and a career
- In workforce development, we are revamping the public system so residents have the skills they need to access good paying jobs, and employers have the workforce they need to compete in a global economy
- In environment and transit, our work is helping establish Chicago as the nation’s #1 “green” city and the Chicago Transit Authority as the most innovative, fastest growing mass-transit system in the U.S.
- In municipal operations, we are positioning Chicago as the most livable city in the world by improving the efficiency of public services that support a vibrant quality of life.
Our Distinctive Approach
CCA works with public sector leaders dedicated to making lasting, positive change, and private sector leaders who contribute services pro bono to help create that change.
