A.K. Wells Community Center is a not-for-profit,
charitable organization founded to ensure affordable, quality programs and services for the development of our children. AKW believes that a warm and nurturing environment is critical to the social, emotional, physicaland intellectual needs of children. We encourage involvement from parents, staff and volunteers to assist in meeting each child’s need through recreation, relationships, and individual attention.AKW provides a comprehensive child care program geared toward families in the Auburn-Greshman, Englewood and surrounding communities for children ages 6 weeks to 12 years old. We seek to support the social and emotional growth and development of children and their families by providing positive learning experiences. While early stages of service offerings are focused on our youth of low-income families, program growth includes adult literacy in areas of job training and education, character building and job placement by teaching individuals professional standards to support entrance into the workforce, performing arts to enhance cultural awareness, and a food pantry to provide nutritional assistance to individuals and families who demonstrate inability to afford healthy food choices.
