Yvette McKinnie

Founder of LCCO

Yvette L. McKinnie resides in the Austin Community where she has lived for 45 years. She has witnessed a rapid and steady increase in despair and hopelessness within the Austin Community over the past several years. She felt that something had to be done to help stem the downward spiral.

When she envisions the change in this area, she always refers to Ezekiel 37:1-10. "Can These Dry Bones Live?" And the answer is a resounding Yes!

Her affiliations with the following associations and agencies have inspired and given her a heart-felt passion and unique view, insight, and perspective into some of the many issues plaguing Austin and surrounding areas and the various needs:

An employee of the Cook County Sheriff Dept. for 27 years.

A member of the Prison Fellowship Ministry for over 26 years.

Overseer of transition Disconnected Youth for 19 years.

Youth Pastor for 4 years.
