Welcome
Bethel Neighborhood Center has been serving downtown Kansas City, Kansas for over 100 years. Bethel was originally founded to serve underprivileged immigrants that worked in the meat packing plants of the West Bottoms. To this day Bethel continues to work with various races and nationalities as we continue to bridge the multiple ethnic and economic boundaries that are present in our community. We work to overcome these boundaries by being an active participant in our community. We encourage everyone, young and old, to become forces for change in their neighborhoods. We hope that you too will see the great work that is being done in our city and choose to join us. We welcome you to stop by and see us. We would love to share with you in person the stories of the wonderful transformations that have taken place in our neighborhood.

Youth & Children
For children grades 1st - 4th, we offer a quality after school program where children can work on homework and play in a safe environment with caring staff. For youth (5th - 8th) we offer the same program but geared specifically for the older ages. We also offer many field trips throughout the school year. Plus, in the summer we have an 9-10 week long activity filled program to help your child become the best they can be.
