The Northeast Community Center is an independent non-profit community center in NE Portland that is located in the former NE Family YMCA facility at NE 38th & Broadway. The NECC fills a geographic “gap” in Portland Parks and Recreation Community Centers and indoor pools, and currently provides vibrant fitness, wellness, aquatics, and youth programs that are popular with NECC’s immediate neighbors. Guided by a strategic plan that prioritizes equity and community-responsive programming, the NECC is emerging from COVID restrictions with renewed focus on its role in providing inclusive, equitable, and relevant programming that supports individual wellness and creates a healthy and resilient community. Our organization is committed to building a diverse and inclusive staff that represents the neighborhoods we serve and we seek to grow the reach and impact of community programs for everyone with a focus on low income, BIPOC, LGBTQ+, and other marginalized people, groups, and organizations.
