Our Story

The Statesboro Community Center was established in 2025 to meet an urgent need in our community. We saw that children, teens, and young adults needed a safe and supportive place to grow, learn, and build strong literacy skills while developing the interpersonal skills necessary for success.

Our mission is to create a hub where young people can access quality programs, mentorship, and creative outlets that empower them to reach their full potential. The center exists as a place for learning, character building, recreation, and support — strengthening families and building a brighter future for the next generation in our community.
