Four generations. One Northside family. One powerful reminder of why this new center matters. 💙
At our groundbreaking ceremony, Northside alumnus Dalen Brown shared what this organization has meant to his family and to generations of young people growing up in North St. Louis.
Dalen just completed his freshman year at the University of Notre Dame. He and his twin brother, who is also headed into their sophomore year of college, are part of four generations of the Brown family served by Northside.
Their parents, Sherrnette and Chaz Brown, met in Northside’s youth program, went off to college together, and later married. That is the power of a community institution that stays rooted, shows up, and helps young people see a future for themselves.
Northside has always been more than a building. It has been a place where youth are supported, families are connected, seniors are cared for, and generations are strengthened.
Now, as we build the new Intergenerational Community Center, we are working to create the space our community has always deserved — a place that can serve children, parents, seniors, and families across their lifespan with more dignity, more opportunity, and more impact.
Phase 1 has begun. Now we need your support to help complete Phase 2.
Help us build the future of North St. Louis.
