YOUTH AND FAMILY RESOURCES
Englewood CDC is dedicated to ensuring that the families in our neighborhood have access to the supports and infrastructure they need to succeed. This includes access to high-quality schools (cradle-college or cradle-career) and with ample graduation opportunities through a 2-gen model, to a supportive community wrapping around and encouraging them.
High-Quality Schools

DayStar Childcare is located in the Englewood Neighborhood and serves 185 students from 6 weeks through 6th grade (after school care offered for elementary school students).

Community School Coordination
Community School Coordination is a critical new facet of our budding two-generation work. Englewood CDC is dedicated to implementing a community schools model which has included the recent addition of a Community School Coordinator on Englewood CDC’s staff, who is focused on creating lasting linkages and opportunities for other Englewood CDC programs and offerings to assist both youth and parents at DayStar Childcare, Paramount Englewood, and Purdue Polytechnic High School. Almost 1,000 students come into the Englewood Neighborhood and into facilities we manage daily.
This assistance can include connections to affordable housing, job opportunities, recreation offerings, etc.
Indy East Promise Neighborhoods
Englewood CDC is a partner in the Indy East Promise Neighborhoods Initiative. In 2021, John Boner Neighborhood Centers and Edna Martin Christian Center received a $30 million, 5-year grant from the Department of Education to establish a Promise Neighborhood in the Near Eastside and Martindale-Brightwood Neighborhoods. The IndyEast Promise Neighborhood is a responsive, student-centered initiative that creates an environment where the whole family can thrive, be healthy, and prosper.
