MID-CITY COMMUNITY ADVOCACY NETWORK 

Mid-City CAN is a dynamic, community-driven organization in City Heights focused on improving transportation, developing youth into leaders, advocating for juvenile justice, and building community power.

Our non-profit organization was founded on community-driven power when community members and nonprofit professionals came together to address the challenges of crime, food insecurity, and more, in City Heights. Originally known as Mid-City for Youth, Mid-City CAN organized Momentum Teams — community action groups — dedicated to improving the neighborhood.

Today, we mobilize volunteers to address the issues that matter most to our community. Learn more.
