Welcome To The ​Neighborhood Centers!

Since 1973, Neighborhood Centers has proudly served as a community-focused organization dedicated to empowering families and individuals across Johnson County. We currently operate two community centers in Iowa City, with a third center set to open in 2025, which will expand our impact with 60 additional slots for early childhood programs and 30 slots for after-school care. Our reach extends far beyond our centers, providing essential outreach and services in neighborhoods and schools throughout the area, supporting over 400 children and youth and 200 adults each day.
​Through programs in early childhood education, after-school care, family support, and neighborhood engagement, Neighborhood Centers fosters resilience, builds connections, and creates brighter futures for all. Join us on a shared journey toward a more connected, supportive community—where everyone belongs.​
Neighborhood Centers: A Safe Space for all. 

Our Areas of Focus

At Neighborhood Centers we're dedicated to empowering our community members to discover their unique potential and thrive in their neighborhood. Whether it's equipping children for a successful start in kindergarten, providing essential guidance to new parents embarking on their parenting journey, providing high quality afterschool programming for working parents, or guiding teens through life’s difficult transitions, our goal is to support our neighbors on their path to fulfillment and achievement.
