Programs

The Center's program schedule changes seasonally. Click here to see our Spring 2008 program schedule. Our programs serve people of all ages and backgrounds in the neighborhood. As the needs of the community changes, so do our programs. Our most recent addition, Partners for Progress, is a collaboration with several area non-profits. This family literacy program allows parents to work towards their GED while their pre-school children receive educational child care.

Our current programs are:

  • After School Program: Eighty children in kindergarten through eighth grades enjoy a variety of activities.  A light snack and homework help are provided.  Enrichment activities include:

    Arts & crafts
