Our Mission

“Brightwood Community Center transforms lives by providing to the community a safe haven for educational, spiritual, and physical growth.”

Our Goals are to cultivate and expand opportunities, skills, resources, and connections to enrich lives.

We believe that each person should be empowered to become their best which shall enable them to effectively help others.

Despite the chaos in the economy and the world at-large, the Brightwood Community Center continues to be “The Balm of Brightwood”. For over 50 years, we have continued to deliver excellent programming while also giving hope to families around Indianapolis.
