Douglass Community Association This page is to communicate information relevant to our clients, supporters, and friends.

Named after famous African American Frederick Douglass, the Douglass Community Association (Douglass) was founded in 1919 to meet the cultural and social needs of African American soldiers returning to a segregated Kalamazoo community after World War I. Througout its history, Douglass has passionately served countless individuals and families in the Northside and greater Kalamazoo communities as a center of social, recreation, and human services.

People are asking where to find our Voter Guides. Every library in the county received a supply, and we also delivered them to city and township offices and to many businesses.

October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month. Support is available in our community at YWCA Kalamazoo.💜



During 💜Domestic Violence Awareness Month💜, we recognize that young people are facing unique challenges related to unhealthy relationships, digital abuse, and systemic violence. Their voices often go unheard, yet they are leading powerful movements for accountability, healing, and change. ✊
This October, through storytelling, education, and advocacy, we’re elevating youth perspectives, fostering dialogue, and empowering the next generation to create a future free from gender-based violence. ➡Join us for any of our DVAM events, where together with community partners, we come together to recognize survivors, raise awareness, and work toward a future free from violence.🛑
