Our Mission
At City Life Center of Northwest Indiana, we serve families in Gary, Indiana by connecting them to opportunities, resources, and information to help them thrive. We provide hours of free and low-cost activities, academic tutoring, and learning experiences for students in Kindergarten through Eighth grade.
In addition to providing diverse and engaging afterschool programming and summer camps, CLC NWI provides students with daily meals and snacks. We recognize that all children thrive in healthy, vibrant families. As such, we also offer financial, educational, and parental support to our CLC families.
Our Values
City Life Center supports families to aid in the development of the five protective factors that help families to thrive; to help mitigate risk; and to enhance healthy development and well-being for youth.
Fiscal Integrity and Transparency
Financial integrity is one of the most critical responsibilities of City Life Center. Managing our money is in true alignment with our organization’s mission to uphold solid financial integrity.
In this era, it is more important than ever to be sure that our organization manages its finances responsibly, and that the financial image we present is not only technically accurate but also tells the world how we use funds to carry out our mission.
We believe in a very high level of accountability and transparency because we want donors to know that we are trustworthy. We follow best practices in governance, donor relations, and other related areas to ensure ethical and responsible activities.
