3 Cord, Inc. began with a vision, based on a passionate belief, that change was needed. We wanted to revitalize our neighborhood, take back our city, and create real change and opportunity for York City youth.
It is difficult, often impossible, to raise successful kids in a blighted community. Our three-corded approach of education management, community development and economic development works to rebuild the essential components of healthy community life—successful schools, safe public spaces, job opportunities and diversity. Just as a cord of three strands is not quickly torn apart, a community built around the healthy development of children and supportive families can combat even the most devastating conditions.
From providing access to quality education and public arts to beautifying neighborhoods and offering opportunities for employment, 3 Cord strives to transform communities and provide safe passage for our kids from home, to school, to work and beyond.
