Community Governance & Development Council

Our Mission

Community Governance & Development Council (CGDC) is a non-profit community organization aimed at empowering Southwest Yonkers through technology, participatory urban planning, and community leadership development.

Our Community, Our Vision, Our Plan.

We believe that in order for community development to be successful, it must be driven by, and serve the interests of the local community. Through conducting needs assessments and facilitating community dialogue, CGDC creates comprehensive neighborhood plans, and helps to organize community members to put those plans into action.
