Hello & Welcome To The Community Center
We are proud to offer a variety of services and programs at our new Community Center in South LA, located at 10200 S. Main St. The Community Center is designed to be an all-in-one drop-in resource center that caters to the needs of the community, as well as our reentry clients. It speaks volumes that a community center opened in the middle of a pandemic now serves almost 400 community members per month. We are currently building out our program and cannot wait to welcome members back for in-person activities!
