About Us
CORE PURPOSE
The New Life Community Development Corporation aims to cultivate a community that promotes healthy lifestyles and wellness education, empowering individuals to make informed choices and adopt practices that transform the community. Our desire is to serve as a vibrant "Life Center" and a beacon of hope, offering resources, training, and practical examples to illustrate that achieving a healthy and balanced lifestyle is within reach for all.
VISION STATEMENT
The vision of the New Life Community Development Corporation is to create communities that are conducive to sustainable economic growth where the dollar circulates through the community multiple times with residents having increased levels of educational attainment, home ownership, business ownership, and increased levels of health and fitness.
The World Health Organization defines health as a state of COMPLETE physical, mental and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity. The enjoyment of the highest attainable standard of health is one of the fundamental rights of every human being without distinction of race, religion, political belief, economic or social condition.
With the economic decline and moving from an industrial/manufacturing economy to a digital/information based economy communities like East Cleveland, Collinwood, and Glenville have been dramaticially impacted. These communities that once thrived with jobs, middle class incomes and quality education are now faced with blight, high unemployment, and challenges to education. Despite all that has taken place we continue to see beautiful, resonant lives, families, and stories of resilience and strength. Through My Eyes (TME) is a vehicle to celebrate these stories and the hope that they birth. TME is a community event to expose future artists, educate, and celebrate the artist within students, families, residents, and community members that create community on purpose by capturing the current state of what they see and envisioning a brighter future.
In partnership with Neighborhood Leadership Institute, Pipeline Counseling, Affirmed Missions, & Ministry of Reconciliation's Adopt-A-School Network.
