In 2010, the Community Lifelong Learning Center hosted more than 1,000 community members in its classes and programs and provided 500 referrals for emergency and crisis services.
Crossway Community functions as a Community Lifelong Learning Center in the Washington, D.C., metropolitan area by opening its doors to individuals and groups who want to utilize our facility to hold meetings, provide training, and run programs for more than 1,000 people annually. We welcome the community onto our campus, in large part because community integration is a critical component of Crossway’s Family Leadership Academy curriculum.
The Community Lifelong Learning Center has an integrated focus on academics, youth development, family support, health and social services, and community development. It emphasizes real-world, lifelong learning for adult students through community problem solving and community service. By extending the school day and week, Crossway is able to reach families and community residents at times they are most able to attend classes. Classes include GED preparation, ESOL, college preparation and tutoring, workforce development, CPR and First Aid, nutrition and cooking, financial literacy, and parent/child development.
The Community Lifelong Learning Center hosts civic, fraternal, educational, arts, and community groups for meetings, conferences, and rehearsals. More than 100 organizations participate as community partners to make the Center a hub for adult and family education and to create and sustain meaningful relationships. Additionally, the Center maintains a food pantry, a clothing and diaper pantry, and provides resources and referral services.
