Our Work

Civic Consulting Alliance takes on projects where we believe we have the opportunity for significant impact.

Projects are chosen by the size and scope of the issue, as well as by our ability to effect change. Large, pressing problems affecting a broad swath of businesses and residents get top priority. Our goal is to find workable and enduring answers with tangible results.

Over time, Civic Consulting manages a coordinated series of projects to create long-term change in five areas, where our goals are:

Affordability
Keep Chicago affordable by increasing the efficiency and effectiveness of public services

Economic Growth
Position Chicago as the most livable city by investing in urban vibrancy

Education
Ensure that every graduate of Chicago Public Schools is ready for college and a career

Environment and Transit
Make Chicago the "Greenest City in the Nation" and to make Chicago Transit Authority the fastest growing, most innovating system in the U.S.

Workforce Development
Revamp education and workforce systems to meet the needs of employers, residents, and communities.

Since 1986, Civic Consulting has led hundreds of high-impact, pro bono projects. See more projects to learn more.
