The newly renovated George Washington Carver Community Center stands as a shining beacon in the heart of our city, transforming lives and uplifting our community through a fresh commitment to quality, inclusivity, and growth.

From youth to seniors, the center has become a vibrant hub, offering programs and spaces that inspire personal growth and foster a sense of unity. We've worked hard to transform this space into a place that welcomes everyone with open arms. With our recent renovations, we’ve expanded our capacity to serve the community in ways we once only dreamed of.

Our updated auditorium and performing arts center now host a diverse array of events, bringing the arts to life. The new visual and fine arts room invites creativity, while the multi-purpose rooms offer flexible spaces for classrooms, tutoring, and community events. We’ve energized our game and social activity room, creating a lively space for friends to connect and play. The youth and young adult media and cultural center, along with our art gallery, spark curiosity and exploration.

We’ve also placed a strong focus on health and well-being, with a dedicated community health education and wellness room, and a micro job training and career incubator center, designed to empower those seeking new opportunities. Our kitchen expansion has enabled us to cater to larger gatherings, making the center a welcoming space for all occasions. Seniors have a newly enhanced space to reconnect, while our renovated gymnasium, with its new floor, is abuzz with athletes of all ages.

These transformations go beyond bricks and mortar. We’ve installed new technology, air conditioning, and a quality security system to ensure a safe and welcoming environment. We believe in providing a space where people feel at home, where they can grow, learn, and play.

Our vision for the George Washington Carver Community Center is about embracing change and making a difference. By creating a space that caters to our community's needs and dreams, we’re investing in Peoria's future. We are not just a community center; we are a symbol of hope, connection, and the power of coming together to build a brighter tomorrow.
