The Franciscan Community Center(FCC) exists to serve the people of Manhattan's Upper West Side. We develop, manage and support educational, recreational and outreach programs that create positive change in the lives of those we serve. The FCC was organized to meet the wide-ranging needs of the Upper West Side Community. Various programs, specifically designed with the multi-cultural representation of their members in mind, come together to form a safe, healthy and welcoming environment providing an opportunity for self-development and an improved quality of life.
