The mission of the McLean County Community Compact (the Corporation) is to offer support to school-age youth to help them become self-sufficient, contributing citizens through a coalition of business, education, community, and government. The Corporation facilitates the preparation of school-age youth for a more effective transition from formal schooling to the world of work.
What is the McLean county community compact?
Since 1989, over 175 community leaders have collaborated under the COMPACT to strengthen the transition of young people from school to the world of work. These leaders, in conjunction with hundreds of volunteers, commit their support and participate in several programs to improve academic preparation and career readiness. COMPACT members initiate projects that bring together businesses, schools, government, and community agencies. Each project is designed to spark cooperative efforts, develop on-going partnerships and create unique career exploration opportunities for our youth.
