Programs: Central Community House is a comprehensive, neighborhood-based community center that has been serving the near east side and near south neighborhoods of Columbus, Ohio in the settlement house tradition since 1936. Rather than specifically address one problem or social condition, we combat the myriad effects of generational poverty holistically. Healthy children can only exist within strong families; families can only succeed when surrounded by safe, supportive neighborhoods. We have a long history of success offering programs such as early education child care, afterschool/summer programs, Transit Arts/teen development, senior programs, community organizing, family strengthening/social work, safety net services and workforce development. More than 4,000 individuals access critical services at Central Community House each year which often can reduce or eliminate the need for individuals to rely on more costly public assistance or government programs, and can prevent greater issues such as homelessness, crime, unemployment, health crises, and disrupted families. Central's focused work and culturally relevant mentorship lifts community members, especially youth, to succeed beyond expectations.
