At Goddard Riverside Community Center we believe in people's ability to shape their environment and the character of their society. We value the idea that all people should be fully involved in those problems which affect their lives. The creation of a democratic society demands an active, thinking citizenry unafraid of responsibility, actively expermenting with means to meet the changing needs of its members. At Goddard Riverside we seek to involve the people to our community in defining common problems and encourage maxium participation in developing solutions to those problems.
