About the facility:
About the facility:
Southside Community Center has housed the UNITED family since it’s installation, and continues to remain a home and staple for black folx to be unapologetically black! Southside Community Center is designed to affirm, empower, and foster the development of self pride among the African-American citizens of greater Ithaca. Through forums and activities in education, recreation, political and social awareness, the Southside Community Center is a community resource center. It serves as a vehicle to develop an appreciation for the contributions and presence of those peoples of African descent in the greater Ithaca community and in the larger world community. The most important lesson that Southside shares, is that it strives to promote “Southside Pride”, and a sense of Comm/Unity amongst children. Please feel free to visit the center and check-out our program at: 305 S. Plain St. Ithaca, NY 14850.

UNITED: In the past we've had a rolling admission for the UNITED Dance Troupe up until March, but due to pandemic we've decided to cap the group at 25 students and you will have to audition to join the UNITED Dance Troupe but don't worry, we don't believe in turning away any student! This year we are adding something NEW! We are adding COMMUNITY CLASSES that will be open to everyone and you do not need to audition nor is there a capacity limit at the moment (this could change).
