The North End Community Improvement Collaborative, Inc. (NECIC) is a civic and social organization based in Mansfield, Ohio, focused on enhancing the North End's quality of life and economic landscape. Founded in 2006 by local residents, NECIC uses asset-based community development to leverage the skills of residents, the energy of local associations, and the support of institutions to drive sustainable community improvement. The organization collaborates with residents and institutions to improve access to housing, work, education, recreation, and worship, aligning its activities with the everyday needs of people in the North End. Its work centers on the ABCD approach, which emphasizes building on existing community assets rather than focusing on deficits. In April 2025, NECIC's board appointed Phil Mazzocco as acting CEO with full executive authority, reflecting leadership continuity as it pursues its community initiatives.
