South End Community Center

gned to assist in the educational, emotional, physical, and social development of Springfield residents. The South End Community is the second most impoverished community (49.7%) in Springfield, second to only the North End. Furthermore, one out of every three children (33% under 18 yrs of age) in Springfield lives in poverty, a stat which is higher than cities such as Boston, Dallas and Los Angeles. Therefore, existing/and new programs and collaborations have been vital to sustain the only community center serving the South End of Springfield.
