is a Registered Community Organization (RCO) working to improve our North Philadelphia neighborhood
by providing a public forum for community planning, dialogue, and social action.
The NTIT RCO meets at 6 p.m. on the third Tuesday of every month from September through June. 
While meetings are usually held at Zion Baptist Church, at the corner of North Broad and North Venango Streets,
due to the COVID-19 pandemic, we are currently holding meetings via Zoom.
We serve as the umbrella group for over 50 neighborhood-based organizations, CDCs, and area block captains.  We work in partnership to address neighborhood residents' needs for housing, education, employment and self-development, as well as community advocacy.

Through the Nicetown-Improvement Team’s monthly meetings, workshops, and events, neighborhood residents
1)    share information and learn about opportunities for advancement,
2)    enhance community cooperation & individual life skills (e.g., health & well-being, financial literacy, job skills), and
3)    strategize and implement solutions to community problems.
 
As a Registered Community Organization (RCO) with the Philadelphia City Planning Commission (PCPC), we represent the neighborhood in zoning matters.  As such, we receive first notice of significant zoning proposals in the community and are responsible for scheduling and hosting public meetings for development projects filing for Zoning Board appeal or requiring Civic Design Review by the City of Philadelphia Office of Licenses and Inspections.
