Johnson Park Center Information

Mission Statement: JCTOD Outreach, Inc. dba Johnson Park Center (JPC) is a faith-based non-profit organization that promotes positive change, revitalization, and community development in the heart of Cornhill, the poorest neighborhood in the City of Utica, New York. We provide emergency and supportive housing for women, children, and families, as well as a range of community-based support services in the areas of nutrition, recreation, mentoring, and advocacy. Our programs build hope and empowerment, and help individuals become self-sufficient, contributing members of the community. Join Positive Change! Just as many burned-out buildings have been restored, at JPC we are also restoring “burned-out” lives – every day! We invite you to be a part of what is happening here and “Join Positive Change!” Founded by Chief Executive Officer Rev. Dr. Maria . Scates and run by her and Chief Operations Officer Rev. Ursula Meier, Johnson Park Center offers community development, special needs housing, nutrition, recreation, mentoring and advocacy.
