For more than a century, our defining purpose at Neighborhood Centers has been to keep Houston a place of opportunity for all those willing to work for a better life.
We provide choices in education for children in low-income neighborhoods complemented by programs to move families to financial self-sufficiency. We thank you for your partnership on behalf of the 250,000 clients touched by our services each year.
