Our Subcommittees

Where Community Ideas Become Collective Action

The Far South Community Action Council (FSCAC) is powered by the voices, skills, and commitment of our members. To ensure our work is focused, organized, and effective, we operate through subcommittees — smaller working groups that turn community priorities into real results for our schools.

Each subcommittee focuses on a key area of our Strategic Education Plan (SEP) — helping us connect families, educators, and community partners to build stronger schools across Chicago’s Far South Side.

Legislative Committee

Monitors local, state, and federal education policies that impact Chicago Public Schools. Advocates for equitable funding, transparency, and accountability in decision-making. Develops position statements and policy recommendations that reflect community priorities.

Strategic Planning Committee

Oversees the development and implementation of the Strategic Education Plan (SEP). Uses data and community input to guide FSCAC goals, ensuring alignment with district initiatives and measurable outcomes.

Marketing Committee

Leads communication and branding efforts for the FSCAC. Manages outreach campaigns, social media, newsletters, and storytelling that highlight our impact and engage families across the Far South Side.

Sponsorship Committee

Builds relationships with businesses, faith-based partners, and philanthropic organizations. Identifies funding, in-kind support, and partnership opportunities to sustain community events and initiatives.

Membership Committee

Recruits, welcomes, and retains active members. Creates opportunities for leadership development, recognition, and participation across all subcommittees. Works to ensure representation from every community within the Far South region.

By-Laws, Curriculum & Re-Purposing Committee
