Mission

Churches Improving Communities (CIC) is a non-profit community development corporation that pools the resources of faith communities - including volunteers, money, and professional expertise - to transform lives through creating and supporting effective social justice and community service programming in central New Jersey.

What We Do

CIC manages three programs: NeighborCorps Re-Entry Services, which assists people re-entering their communities from jail; Church-Based Mental Health Services, which provides free and low-cost professional mental health counseling at seven locations in four NJ counties; and CALTR - FIA, an experiential service-learning program that pairs volunteer groups with week-long, in-depth work and immersion experiences around issues like immigration, homelessness, refugees and asylees, hunger, mental health, and more.
