BCYF Condon Community Center - City of Boston

Overview:The Condon Community Center has been in operation for over 40 years. During that time, it has evolved and expanded to service a wider population with a richly diverse field of programming opportunities. Our facility offers programs that service children as young as 3, stress inclusion for those with disabilities, focus on the teen population, attract new-comers to our sports and aquatics programs, and offer a center for senior citizen activities. We operate under the umbrella of BCYF, Boston Centers for Youth and Families. We build upon the message of incorporating multiple disciplines to foster well-rounded individuals. Using education and sports to build character is a central theme lived out daily at the Condon Community Center. Physically, our building directly abuts the "D" Street public housing complex. This factor directly impacts the fact that we can boast about being one of the most diversified centers in the city; serving a wealth of ethnicities. The most recent statistics, provided by Boston Public Housing Authority, identify 480 -500 low-income families living in direct proximity to our center. Our center is comprised of a full-court gym, computer lab, regulation swimming pool, multi purpose meeting space, and a recently renovated teen space. The Condon Elementary School, with the addition of an 8th grade, has completed their full transformation to a K-8 school. Also, we are physically "sandwiched" between two other long-existing non-profits: the Laboure Center and the West Broadway Task Force; allowing for the mutually beneficial sharing of community resources. Year-round programming at the Condon Community Center includes, but is not limited to: aquatics programming including swim lessons, aerobics, adult lap swim, and family swim times; Athletic programming including basketball, football, soccer, volleyball, pickleball league, etc; Youth/Teen programming including SuperTeens, Girls Leadership, Career Prep & Building Workshops, ASPIRE After School Program, Tutoring, Mentoring, SAT Prep classes, field trips, Feeding Program, Special Events and celebrations; Technology programming including computer instruction, intro. to music technology, resume writing, etc; Senior programming including crocheting, bingo, resource fairs, coffee clutch, Silver Sneakers Walking Club, tech help and feeding assistance.
