Press Release
Proactive Community Services Receives $100,000 Grant from NICI to Support
Workforce Development Program
Flossmoor, IL, July 23, 2024 — Proactive Community Services (PCS) is delighted to
announce the generous support of $100,000 from the Northern Illinois Community
Initiatives Foundation (NICI) to bolster its Proactive Employment Solutions program.
The grant, awarded for the second consecutive year, underscores NICI's commitment to
advancing economic mobility in underserved communities.
NICI, established by Nicor Gas in 2021, focuses on empowering historically
marginalized groups through strategic investments in transformative initiatives. PCS's
Proactive Employment Solutions program aligns perfectly with this mission, aiming to
equip individuals with the skills and opportunities needed to secure sustainable
employment.
"We are excited and deeply grateful for NICI's continued partnership and investment in
our workforce development efforts," said Eula Burge, CEO of Proactive Community
Services. "This funding will enable us to expand our impact, provide vital support to
individuals, and foster economic empowerment and social equity in the Southland.”
The grant will specifically fund initiatives within the Proactive Employment Solutions
Program, including job training, career counseling, and placement services designed to
meet the unique needs of the community PCS serves. By addressing barriers to
employment and promoting skill development, PCS aims to create pathways to
economic stability and prosperity.
The check presentation ceremony, held at PCS's office in Flossmoor, marked a
milestone in the ongoing collaboration between PCS and NICI. It highlighted the shared
commitment to fostering inclusive growth and creating opportunities for all community
members to thrive.
