Centuries of Community Service

Established in 1821, the McKim Center of the McKim Community Association, Inc. is one of the oldest continuously active community centers in the United States. The McKim Community Association, Inc. is also one of the oldest 501 (c)(3) nonprofit organizations in the United States. For over two hundred years, McKim's "Free School" has enriched the lives of thousands of youth and families with athletics, academics, and neighborhood safety. Rather than offering daycare or after-care, McKim's "Free School" continues to teach neighborhood safety, peace, and wellness through physical education, science, the arts, and civic studies in its out-of-school time program. We approach community education and community healing in a holistic manner: we meet the physical, mental, and ethical needs of community members broadly and deeply. Coach Garfield Thompson now serves as the McKim Center's Executive Director. Coach Thompson succeeds Coach Dwight Warren who led McKim for over fifty years. McKim's community services uphold its pillars of structure, discipline, love, and respect.
