Evolving Needs

In the years since we moved to Main Street, new opportunities and challenges have arisen. We have a thriving teen/youth arts program, Transit Arts. We need to respond to our community's unemployment challenges. And our neighborhood needs conference and meeting space. Read More

Our Future

You can help us build a safe haven for kids who turn to art instead of destructive lifestyles, foster entrepreneurship and provide a place where motivated community members will work together to combat blight and violence in the neighborhood. Read More

Our Mission

The mission of Central Community House is to empower people to reach their full potential, be self supporting, and live cooperatively with all others.
