We support children, youth, individuals and families through a wide range of programs and services. We manage 36 facilities, including community centers and pools.
Our mission is to enhance the quality of life for Boston residents by partnering with community center councils, agencies, and businesses to support neighborhood needs.
Our affordable programs range from preschool, school-aged and adult education, family literacy, and youth employment to violence prevention and intervention, senior activities, recreation and enrichment. Learn more about our work.
