Who are we?
The North Side Alliance (NSA) is a grassroots community organization comprised of residents and institutions of West Ridge. We seek to improve the quality of life for all members of our neighborhood by identifying and addressing common concerns, fostering a greater sense of community, and maximizing the use of available resources for continued improvement. We offer many opportunities, including regular meetings, beautification and outreach projects, and larger meetings with city leaders, for residents to get involved and create a positive change in our neighborhood.
