SYNOPSIS
The Crown Heights Service Center, Inc is a non-profit community-based organization dedicated to fostering growth and advancement within a supportive family-oriented environment for underserved populations. Through comprehensive educational programs and activities encompassing In-School, After-School, Out-of-School, and Summer initiatives, The Crown Heights Service Center aims to empower individuals and families alike to thrive and succeed.
CHALLENGE

The Crown Heights Service Center, Inc & Board of Directors needed a platform that could streamline communication, increase access to vital resources, and encourage community participation. Key features required included a registration system for after-school and summer programs, an up-to-date events calendar, and a centralized resource hub with helpful links for families and individuals in the community. The site had to be mobile-friendly, easy to update by staff, and welcoming to a broad audience — including parents, youth, and seniors with varying levels of digital literacy.

SOLUTION

I designed and developed a responsive website that centered around clarity, accessibility, and functionality. The site included:

  • Custom program registration forms for after-school and summer programs, allowing easy sign-up and data collection.
  • An interactive events calendar to keep community members informed about upcoming workshops, meetings, and activities.
  • A dedicated resources page linking to local food banks, housing assistance, employment services, and educational materials.
  • CMS integration, enabling staff & board members to make updates with ease without needing technical support.
  • Inclusive design principles, ensuring the website was ADA-compliant, mobile-optimized, and intuitive to navigate.

The final product became a reliable digital home for the organization’s outreach, programming, and community support — increasing engagement and reducing the administrative burden for staff.
