There is a building in the heart of Delridge where so much of this community’s history and future meet.
It’s called Youngstown.

No photo description available.
Inside this one building, children learn and grow at the co-op preschool. Artists live, create, and perform in affordable housing units. Families gather in community spaces for celebrations, workshops, and healing. Youth explore music, theater, and movement. And outside, green spaces and restoration work connect us to the land.

Youngstown isn’t just a building.
It’s an ecosystem. It’s a home.
It’s a place where belonging is protected.
Every day, we see why this space matters:
A parent dropping their child off at preschool.
A youth performing their first spoken word piece.
A local artist unlocking the door to a studio they can afford.
A neighborhood group planning their next community event.
All of this happens under one roof.
