About Hawthorne Community Center

The Hawthorne Community Center in Indianapolis was established in 1923, when 50 neighborhood residents re-purposed a strip of land called Flack's Pasture. Since then, it has been Hawthorne's mission to provide or facilitate services and programs that meet the economic, educational, financial, social, recreational, and civic needs of the entire Hawthorne Community.

Through partnerships with the Center for Service and Learning and the IUPUI campus, Hawthorne Community Center provides tutoring, after-school programming, senior programming and social services to near west side residents. The center also provides a valuable resource for service learning opportunities to IUPUI students.
