Norris Square Civic Association (NSCA) was incorporated in 1982 by a group of young mothers who, unable to find outside help, launched their own organization dedicated to the revitalization of the neighborhood and the empowerment of its residents.

Norris Square Civic Association (NSCA) is a grassroots, community-based development corporation founded by a group of community women. These women were committed to developing the human potential of Norris Square residents.

NSCA’s mission is to empower Norris Square residents to improve their lives by becoming self- reliant, and to unite and build the community through the development and improvement of the physical, economic, social, cultural, and educational aspects of the neighborhood. Families and individuals are active participants at every level of the organization and in planning the neighborhood’s housing, economic, cultural, and educational strategies.

In 1996, NSCA established the Norris Square Family Center, offering educational and recreational activities to community residents. The Center is located in the McKinley Elementary School and is accessible to residents of Norris Square's southwest quadrant, an area long neglected by city services. The Family Center is open until 9 p.m. Monday through Friday.

Current program offerings include: early childhood parent training, job development and placement, CDA classes for future eraly education teachers, aerobics, and an after school/summer program for 1,000 neighborhood children.

The children's program is designed to improve reading, mathematics, critical thinking and computer skills. In addition, NSCA has developed a childcare center with a capacity for 200 children. Efforts to establish a home-based child care training program for 60 residents is also included. NSCA has developed a Mercado (market) to sell ethnic food items.
