Welcome to
JORDAN AREA COMMUNITY COUNCIL
Since 1964, our mission is to organize people, knowledge and capital for the collective empowerment of the Jordan Neighborhood.
The Jordan Area Community Council (JACC) is a nonprofit, citizen participation organization for the Jordan neighborhood. Its mission is to “organize people, knowledge and capital for the collective empowerment of Jordan residents.”
It is one of the city’s first community organizations, JACC began in 1964 when local PTA members came together to prevent closure of the North Branch public library. That struggle, which resulted in a new North Library opening in 1970, firmly established JACC as a grass roots organization based upon the belief that residents could solve problems through collective action.
It gets its name from a neighborhood junior high school, which was built in 1922 and named after Minneapolis Public Schools Superintendent Emeritus Charles Morison Jordan.
Attention Jordan Residents: The Jordan Area Community Council Board of Directors met to discuss moving funds to support community engagement activities. The funds would be moved from strategic partnerships, environment and community safety. If you have any questions or concerns please reach out to us at 612-886-4539.
