Goodman Community Center
The mission of the Goodman Community Center is strengthening lives in our community.
In fulfilling its mission, the center facilitates a community atmosphere, identifies and responds to community needs, cooperates with individuals and other agencies to provide that help, promotes recreational and cultural events, and creates and coordinates meeting space, programs and information and services that reflect the community's ethnic and economic diversity.
Description:
In keeping with its mission, the Goodman Community Center's goals are:
to help build a sense of community among neighborhood residents;
to provide opportunities for social activities, education, social development and nourishment to at-risk children, especially preschool, elementary, and middle school students;

History:
September 2, 2008 we open the doors to our new center at 149 Waubesa St., the home of the Goodman Community Center, formerly the Goodman Atwood Community Center on Atwood Ave. All of our programs are now under one roof and we have added a fitness center, full gym and more community space.
