Changing lives – and a city – for the better
Since its inception, Neighborhood Centers Inc. has worked to improve the lives of Houston residents by bringing resources, education and connection to underserved areas of our city.
As we prepared for our 100th anniversary, we embarked on a New Century Campaign designed to dramatically retool the way we deliver services.
The New Century Campaign will enable us to make dramatic – and permanent – improvements in people’s lives across Houston. By focusing on asset building, we can harness the power and energy of the human spirit and create empowered communities that have the skills, capabilities and resources to help themselves.
The long-term impact of the New Century Campaign is a city with broader economic strength, entrepreneurial growth, lower unemployment and a reduced need for social services – especially those related to health and education.
We invite you to join with us in supporting this bold new initiative – one that will make realization of the American Dream possible for all Houstonians.
