About Seneca Street CDC
Formally incorporated in 2009, Seneca Street CDC, first and foremost, seeks to improve children’s lives by providing positive learning spaces and activities, along with healthy foods that allow them to grow to their full potential. Since the after-school programs began, first generations of children have attended college. The CDC operates out of the Seneca Street United Methodist Church building; we collaborate with local community members, churches, universities, and businesses to provide the greatest service possible to the neighborhood.
How we help:
■ After-School and Teen Programs for students K-12 featuring tutoring, mentoring, clubs and activities, and a free, hot homemade meal daily.
■ Summer at Seneca Street Program for six weeks for children in grades K-8 filled with enrichment activities. Teen Program participants serve as counselors for the children through the Mayor’s Summer Youth Program.
■ Administering a Community Garden, offering free garden plots to families and helping children learn hands-on about healthy foods during the Summer program and to try new fruits and vegetables.
Programming is offered at no cost to participants and is made possible through the generosity of those who support our organization. We also rely heavily on our hard-working staff and fantastic volunteers, many of whom grew up in Seneca-Babcock.
