The World Community Center has become the new occupant of the building at 438 N. Skinker, formerly inhabited by the Coalition for the Environment.
The Center begain in January 1975 with the goal of aiding organizations to increase their effectiveness in working for a just and humane world community.
The Center will concentrate its efforts, in three areas: I. Provide means by which organizations can be kept informed of each other’s goals and programs, both short and long range. Member organizations will have the opportunity for cooperation and coordination in areas of mutual benefit.
2. Provide a location accessible to the public, and a sense of establishment for the concept of world community in the St. Louis area.
3. Provide or find services and expertise organizations might find difficult to provide themselves because of the cost, knowledge or time involved. This should allow organizations to concentrate more fully upon the attainment of their goals.
Sharing the Center’s facilities now are the American Friends Service Committee, Peace Corps/Vista, Freedom of Residence, and the J. B. Johnson Defense Committee. The Peace Research Laboratory/Character Research Association will join them this summer.
