We’re building community… On June 13, 2018, donors, board members, staff and clients gathered to break ground on this long-awaited project to restore our original building. Many thanks to our loyal supporters for transforming dreams into bricks and mortar through a successful $3.7 million Capital Campaign. A little history… In the late 1930’s, residents of the Columbus Park neighborhood decided to invest in, and forever change, the Northeast Kansas City community. After completing construction on a Community Center at 526 Campbell, the neighbors named the center after St. John Bosco, a 19th century Italian priest known for his caring spirit and dedication to children. During the 1940’s and 1950’s, the Center became a staple of Columbus Park for its varied community programming. Check out the video of our Facebook live tour here or contact us for an in-person tour! A big dream… In 2015, we responded to an overwhelming call from neighbors and community leaders who wanted to see a community center brought back to Columbus Park. We envisioned a complete restoration of Don Bosco’s original building, at 526 Campbell, to bring community back to the heart of Columbus Park. We imagined a central gathering place, where neighbors could collectively learn, eat, and connect. Starting June 2020, those dreams are now a reality. We look forward to many more years of buiilding community! FEATURED Our heartfelt appreciation to those who believed in the dream.
