“I first came to Capital City Community Centers a year ago when I needed food. I had basically nothing. Without them, I’d just have to go without.” - Donna, Case Management Client

Agency Description

Teacher and Students

Capital City Community Centers is committed to helping disadvantaged members of our community to develop and maintain the education, employment, life and social skills they need to live healthy and productive lives.  We have a long and diverse history. The organization was founded in 1945 as the Smith Hill Girls Club, but ten years later the club became co-ed and expanded its services. The agency continued to grow, adding its first childcare program in 1959, a senior program a decade later and eventually a fully licensed childcare program that is still in operation today.

Our programs are designed to meet diverse needs and are targeted to individuals of all ages:

  • Two exceptional licensed early childhood learning centers serving up to 108 infants, toddlers and preschoolers ages ten weeks to six years;
  • A high-quality licensed Before and After School Program serving 120 school-aged children;
  • A stimulating Summer Enrichment Program for over 100 of our community’s most at-risk children;
  • A wide range of Prevention Programs, including Lifeskills, Strengthening Families and Communities that Care;
  • Compassionate non-clinical case management serving over one thousand individuals each year with food, clothing, utility and victim of crime assistance, and;
  • The Capital City Senior Program engaging senior citizens in social services and health and social activities.

Capital City Community Centers receives funding from diverse sources, including federal, state and city grants and reimbursements, client fees, private foundation grants, corporate contributions and individual donations.
