"Building a healthy, caring and prosperous community"
About Us
East End Community Services was founded in 1998 as an outgrowth of the work of St. Mary's Development Corporation and became a separate nonprofit agency in 2001 focusing on the needs of persons living in eastern Dayton..
Our mission is to listen to and work with the residents of Twin Towers and surrounding neighborhoods to create a healthy, caring and prosperous community.
In fulfilling that mission, East End provides programs and services that assist individuals and families within this area which includes zip codes 45410 and 45403. The programs include the following services.
- Miracle Makers is a free afterschool and summer program serves 108 children between the ages of 5 to 10 years of age, providing academic tutoring, educational enrichment, and a curriculum designed to help youth acquire healthy behaviors. For three years, children attending this program have scored higher on standardized tests than a comparison group.
- The Youth Center provides tutoring, prevention programming, recreation, fitness, and cultural bridging activities with 350 youth between the ages of 10 and 22 years of age, including connection to a virtual charter high school for out of school adolescents. The program has been successful in helping youth remain in school and avoid many risky behaviors. These services are free
- Family and Job Connections program offers free employment assistance, job placement and case management support to more than 500 persons. The program also includes an advocacy program for the Latino families in the neighborhood. A elderly outreach program provides assistance to homeowners and renters 60 years and older. Evaluation results show that these programs are successful in helping individuals address their goals.
- Community Building is a program that helps the 1,400 Twin Towers households work together to create a safe, attractive and thriving neighborhood. The hallmark of this effort has been involvement of the neighbors and area youth in more than 1,500 hours of volunteering. The neighbors, East End and representatives from the City of Dayton, Montgomery County, County Corp and others have created a comprehensive housing strategy for the Twin Towers area. This effort also includes cultural bridging and celebrations conducted with CityFolk.
