Community centers are not just for seniors, not just for kids, not just for families. They can offer an enormous variety of educational, social and recreational activities, tailored to what the members of the community are interested in. Community potlucks, singles nights, afterschool programs and tutoring, health, wellness and exercise classes, crafts, lectures, dances, music performances...to name just a few examples. When we reach out to our neighbors and make new friends (or renew old ones), our quality of life is increased. This proposal, prepared by a subcommittee of the Community Outreach Planning Steering Committee of our Advisory Group and the Philadelphia Youth Football Academy, integrates social, academic, physical fitness, healthy living and workforce enrichment programming and the human capacity for connectivity into community center programming that is dedicated to supporting lasting bonds between constituents of the Northwest Philadelphia area.  The proposal provides essential background, a detailed plan and outlines the resources needed to implement various program.
