Mission Statement
The mission of the Hawthorne Community Center is to provide and facilitate services and programs that address the economic, educational, financial, social, recreational and cultural needs of the entire Hawthorne community.
About This Cause
Hawthorne Community Center’s purpose is to provide social service programs focused on skill building, connection to resources and the provision of basic needs for families. It is our goal to build resilient and financially stable community members at the grassroots level. We accomplish this through a two-generation model that focuses on adults as well as children. Adult and Family Social Services Division - Hawthorne’s adult division includes the Center for Working Families (CWF). Hawthorne has shifted the paradigm of adult social services from generalized programs to an individualized experience based on long-term relationships. CWF focuses on building assets of low and moderate-income families. Programs offered through the CWF include Income Supports, Adult Education, Financial Literacy, Employment and Re-entry. CWF staff focuses resources on employment placement, career improvement, financial education and public benefits assistance. The goal is to move participants from spenders and borrowers to savers and investors. The next piece of adult division is the Senior Citizen Department. Program design focuses on five components. These components are nutrition, health and wellness, recreational activities, social activities and economic stability. The program meets older adult’s basic needs and ensures that they are healthy and participating in life affirming activities that will maintain autonomy by providing daily programming at the center. Youth Programs Division - Hawthorne's youth division offers year-round programming from early childhood to high school, divided into three separate departments - Early Childhood, Elementary and Middle School and High School. Youth programs focus on providing programming during out of school time that empowers youth through intentional enrichment and structured recreation with the goal of preparing them for their first school experience and building academic skills. Youth programs focus on improving academic performance, social and developmental skills and the improving general health of youth through summer camps, intersession camps, before and after school programs, and athletics.
