About The GCAP Foundation

A little background on The GCAP Foundation and what we do

The GCAP Foundation was created in the memory of two good Black Men that were taken far too early due to cancer. 

In the time that they were alive, they expressed a willingness to work with the youth to help the youth of the community be productive citizens. 

The GCAP Foundation promotes and encourages the youth of the communities to take part in the renovating, rebuilding, revitalization and the restoration of properties in the communities in which they live in order to provide safe, clean and affordable housing to the inner city and urban areas, as well as them learning trades and learning about budgeting, saving and investing money that they have earned legally. 

In the different projects that GCAP has been associated with, Job Corp has played an intricate part in improving neighborhoods on the south side of Chicago. 

The youth that works on the projects learn and understand how building up the community in which they live as well as promoting home ownership allows them to take pride in that neighborhood. 

They take pride in knowing that they had a hand in the renovation of neighborhoods that had been deemed slums and ghettos by society.

GCAP's Basic Guidelines for Self Improvement

1. Interact with people that are positive in both thoughts and deeds.
