Welcome
Serving Princeton for 40 Years
To address the fundamental needs and inequalities that existed in the John-Witherspoon community, Community House was founded in 1969 by an interracial group of seven undergraduates.
As Community House celebrates its 40th anniversary, it has moved into new space and announced a new program, the Community House Academy, which will offer after-school enrichment in math, science, reading, and writing, as well as Fun Friday activities for Princeton middle school and high school students.
Mission Statement
Community House is an organization committed to closing the minority achievement gap in Princeton by providing programs that bolster early childhood literacy, promote the mastery of fundamental academic skills, and create early awareness of post-secondary opportunities for underserved minority youth.
Community House and You ... a Two-Way Commitment
Primarily Community House exists as a mechanism for community service where creative ideas become a reality through productive service projects. However equally important is its existence as a place for nurturing each student's personal identity and growth. For many students Community House is a place for the sharing of ideas and airing of challenges in a place where needs are understood and valued.
