NECCA is a neighborhood based, non-profit organization founded in 1980 by northeast Spokane neighborhoods. NECCA is nationally and locally recognized for developing partnerships with our neighborhoods and local businesses and industries. Through these partnerships we are able to expand resources available for community services and facility support.

The Association believes that the best strategies for building healthier neighborhoods will come from our neighbors themselves. By dwelling not on weakness, but rather by expanding upon the energies and capacities that already exist. The Association is committed to supporting residents as they take responsibility for improving their quality of life.

The Community Center exclusively utilizes the "Community Agency Collaborative" model. All direct services are provided in partnership with public, private, community and neighborhood organizations. By linking the shared interests of various groups and organizations, the Associations on-campus agency partnership has grown from five to ten public and private organizations.
