What does it actually take to nurture a thriving neighborhood? The Belmont Community Center has been answering this question for 88 remarkable years, transforming Northwest Lincoln one connection at a time.
Executive Director Emily Koopman guides us through the center's extraordinary journey from its humble 1937 beginnings in an abandoned church to the vibrant community hub it is today.
This deep legacy of trust allows the center to "pivot at every corner" to address ever-changing community needs. From early childhood classrooms and after-school programs to hosting AA meetings and family celebrations, the center provides both critical services and a neutral space for bringing diverse stakeholders together. Through it all, their collaborative philosophy remains constant: "It's not the Belmont Community Center doing the work—it's WE who are doing the work."
