Seventh Ward Neighborhood Center

The Seventh Ward Neighborhood Center provides a safe place where residents can connect with one other as they rebuild their lives and neighborhood.  The Center is also home to The Porch, an organization dedicated to preserving the artistic, musical and cultural traditions of the Seventh Ward.  Center staff help residents develop programs to reflect the character and vision of the community.

Loyola service learning students are needed to help us develop a community-based campaign to bring back the historic Circle Food Store. Students may help with oral history gathering, media work, research, and fundraising. Other projects open to students include: teaching computer literacy classes, helping with a campaign to fight blight in the neighborhood, and supportive Center activities and events.
