The new George Washington Carver Community Center serves as beacon in the heart of our city enhancing and providing for a higher quality of life for all. Our newly transformed center provides an environment that attracts youth, adults, and seniors through quality programming and interesting opportunities to grow as a person-and as a community. In order to meet our goals to serve the community to its fullest potential, we recently updated, renovated, and expanded our entire facility. We renovated our performing arts center, added two multi-purpose rooms, enhanced the game and social activity room, created a young adult media and cultural center, started a community health education and wellness room, and so much more.
