Its founding was initiated by residents of the Broadway area, who saw the opportunity to enrich and revitalize the inner-city neighborhood by bringing together all residents, of all cultures and backgrounds, to share their talents and knowledge. The idea was to learn from one another while breaking down ethnic barriers. We're all in it together. The program of the center is varied and plentiful. Supported mainly by the Children's Trust Fund and the Redevelopment Authority of Green Bay, the center relies upon volunteers, donations, grants, and neighborhood fundraising.
All services are free of charge.
But now that we have proven ourselves, finances are not a concern. What we are always running out of is space to expand. Not only immigrants and minorities are involved in the center, but long-time Green Bay residents, too.
