Nabhi Christian Ministries
(NCM)
Organizational History & Accomplishments:
Nabhi Christian Ministries (NCM) was organized in 1996 and incorporated in 1997. NCM’s manages community programs that provide social services for high-risk residents, such as conflict resolution, drug and alcohol recovery, teen pregnancy prevention, educational mentoring, community development, etc. A board of directors, consisting of 9 members and 10 volunteers, governs NCM. NCM is primarily supported through small grants and private donations. To effectively further its mission, NCM formed Concerned Citizens of Greater Pittsburgh (CCOGP) ccogp.org, in 1996 when local families of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania sought safer communities by providing effective alternatives to gangs that would reduce violence and the possibility of high-risk youth starting or continuing delinquent behavior. A grant from Best Health Care funded the first CCOGP Gang Peace Rally that recruited over 200 participants. In 1997, CCOGP expanded its services to assist schools, families and communities in addressing academic failure due to negative risk factors. CCOGP received the 1996 Allegheny County Commissioners Proclamation for improving Pittsburgh neighborhoods and reducing gang violence and The 1997 Pennsylvania State Auditor General Proclamation for improving Pittsburgh neighborhoods and reducing gang violence; The 2000 Sisters Helping Sister’s Recognition Award for reducing high-school dropout; The 2003 Slippery Rock University Sisters2Sisters Best Mentors Award; A 2003 Commendation from Pittsburgh’s City Council for youth advocacy and reducing substance abuse; A 2004 City of Pittsburgh Proclamation for tireless work and effective leadership towards the goals of making Pittsburgh a more peaceful and loving place. NCM has a major impact on citizens of high-risk communities of Allegheny County.
