WRAPAROUND SERVICES | PROGRAMS AT PARK’S EDGE
The Park’s Edge Community Center offers 2,400 square feet of space—classrooms, a kitchen, a computer lab—for meeting, learning and socializing. Programs that “wrap around” the basic provision of housing are essential: they build community cohesiveness, strengthen households and offer key tools for day-to-day support, practical advancement and long-term success.
Volunteer opportunities abound at Park’s Edge. For information about volunteering, please contact Jeni Klippel at 434-817-2447 x27.
