About Us
National Community Partnership is an Atlanta-based nonprofit organization that combines Community Transformation Solutions, Transitional Learning Systems, Outreach Strategies, and Training. We work with the four pillars of the community - the Church, the Family, the School, and the Government to develop systems, implement short and long-term projects and provide information, training, and technical services to support these projects
Our Story
National Community Partnership (NCP) is a nationally-recognized public health, market research, and social-marketing agency specializing in developing cost-effective, cutting-edge, culturally relevant messages for hard-to-reach, at-risk, and underserved audiences. NCP is headquartered in Atlanta, with satellite projects in Detroit, Memphis, and Philadelphia.
NCP originated in 1997, when Senior Managing Director Nathan Waters created and developed the “In the Kool Zone,” safe haven model to meet the challenges of youth violence prevalent in Fulton County, GA.
While serving as the Program Manager for the Fulton County Youth Violence Prevention Initiative, Waters reflected on how hip-hop urban youth were consistently left out of mainstream intervention messages dealing with social, health, education, and economic issues.
NCP works with the four pillars of the community - the Church, the Family, the School, and the Government to develop systems, implement short and long-term projects and provide information, training, and technical services to support these projects.
