Communityworks is an initiative building communities to function more effectively by growing an endowment with a community foundation that: convenes the community; leverages resources; and develops, implements & evaluates community-based solutions.

The Oak Park River Forest Community Foundation has convened members of the community as an advisory committee to articulate community aspirations and develop common themes and a vision.

COMMUNITY VISION: 

 Achieve a sustainable community (Oak Park & River Forest) through --

                •Ensuring the success of all children through quality education
                •Ensuring an environmentally sustainable community
