In April, Robinson Community Learning Center celebrated 25 years of community, learning, and connection with a party at Kelly Park, complete with food trucks and hip hop dance performances. On hand were RCLC staff and students—past and present—neighbors, and community leaders representing the city of South Bend, the Northeast Neighborhood Council, the Northeast Neighborhood Revitalization Organization, the University of Notre Dame, and more.
Starting from its original location in a former shopping center and continuing at Eddy Street Commons, the center, with support from Notre Dame and others, has served thousands of men, women, and children across generations, engaged hundreds of volunteers, and distributed tens of thousands of books, promoting service and learning throughout the community.
