Our Story

Since its beginnings more than 75 years ago, the First Ward Community Centerhas stood as a symbol of hope and opportunity.  As a center for area children,  FWCC became closely identified with its athletic programs, teams and leagues, and earned a reputation for helping to develop and inspire our local talent.  Today, the Center still offers recreational programs, and our mission has expanded.  We address many social problems and issues, and have broadened our scope to include academics and enrichment for all ages.  We are very proud of our history and look forward to making a difference in the lives of so many now and in the years to come.
