Mission

Neighborhood House is a community center for the whole family located in Louisville's west end. Our mission is to support families by creating a community of opportunity. Together with our members, we connect to one another and to resources, break down barriers, advocate for change, and invest in futures. Our vision is that all Neighborhood House families are thriving. Our primary program areas serve members “from the twinkle to the wrinkle:” -The Child Development Center (CDC) is a high quality early learning center for infants, toddlers, and preschoolers. -The Youth Development Program offers afterschool programming, an all-day Dreamers’ Academy during the summer, and ongoing leadership development for school-age kids. -Pathways helps eliminate barriers for young adults ages 16-24—particularly those living in Portland, Shawnee, and Russell—and supports them in striving towards goals. -Family Engagement builds relationships with caregivers, connecting them to community partners and organizing events that strengthen family connections. -The Four Seasons Senior Program provides daily activities and a hot meal, helping members ages 55 and older stay active, maintain healthy social connections, and eat nutritious food. -The Emergency Food Pantry helps families stretch their grocery budgets. It is one of the only food pantries open five days a week in the west end.
