COMMUNITY RESOURCE CENTER

The Kennedy Center’s Community Resource Center (CRC)provides opportunities for
Charlestown’s low-income residents, especially immigrant groups, to develop self-sufficiency
through information about and referrals to resources, as well as through specific skills and
language learning.  In addition, the CRC exists to promote neighborliness, reduce social
isolation, and bring people together to address issues of common concern.


  The Community Resource Center is located at:
                          55 Bunker Hill Street.
