Concord’s mission is about serving near-Southside families. Sometimes, that isn’t through core program engagement. We offer a variety of initiatives, classes, and resources to support households like yours.
Worlds Apart
In 2015, the Richard M. Fairbanks School of Public Health published ground-breaking data about differences in life expectancy among residents of the Indianapolis Metro area. The first report found that residents in zip code 46225 had the shortest life expectancy of all zip codes included in the research. Since that time, the Center has formalized a partnership with the RFSOP and the lead professor, Dr. Weathers, to examine underlying causes and explore promising solutions to improve quality of life in the neighborhood.

A 2GEN Strategy
As a part of United Way of Central Indiana’s Family Opportunity Fund, Concord offers whole, household-level case management to child and youth participant families. Through this initiative, 2GEN, staff meet with parents/caregivers to provide child development, mental health, and parenting resources, extra-curricular and enrichment activities, and comprehensive case management to focus on longer-term goal setting and stability.
Recreation for All
Join us on Mondays from 6-8p for open play pickleball. The gymnasium is divided into two courts, so we can accommodate a variety of abilities and levels. We’re also walking around Garfield Park on Thursday mornings through the early fall. We meet at the library at 9:30a for a leisurely stroll through the park.
