Mission
Our mission is to provide an open, safe and productive community space with resources and programs that respond to expressed community needs.

History
Opened in 1968, this building at 271 Grant St. served as the Northwest District Branch Library. It was closed in December 2005 due to budget restraints. Many community members rallied for the building to be kept open.
With the help of the city Council Member David Rivera, the building reopened in 2006 as a non-profit incubator for two community development organizations: the Massachusetts Avenue Project (MAP) and PUSH. In July 2009, Council Member Rivera hired Janice Li as full-time staff to continue keeping the space open to the public as well as expand the resources and programs available in the building. Janice Li was the Program Manager until fall of 2013. Her passionate service and commitment to the neighborhood contributed to much of what the Center has become today.
With the help of MAP, PUSH, and Council Member Rivera, the Movement Leadership Institute and Community Hub, continues to seek out more partnerships in order to meet needs and interests expressed by our members and in the community.
