About
The West End Community Foundation, Inc. (WECF) is a long-standing nonprofit organization that was established to improve the overall quality of life for the residents of the City of Durham, with a particular focus on those in Southwest Central Durham. Since its inception in 2002, WECF has been actively managing the Community Family Life & Recreation Center at Lyon Park.
The roots of the Community Family Life & Recreation Center at Lyon Park trace back to its origins as a school catering to African-American students during Durham’s era of segregation. Over time, it has evolved into a dynamic focal point where families come together.
In the present day, the Center, in collaboration with the West End Community Foundation, Inc. (WECF), plays a crucial role in promoting community well-being. Their efforts encompass initiatives aimed at maintaining family health, educating the youth, offering diverse enrichment opportunities, and more. The hard-working staff and the dedicated volunteer board of directors are committed to creating a better Durham for all.
In a spirit of collaboration, WECF partners with various community entities . Through a diverse array of programs , they extend services to over 3,000 individuals each month. These programs span from early childhood development services to specialized programming tailored for senior citizens.
