Kennedy Center

The John F. Kennedy Family Service Center is a community-focused nonprofit serving Charlestown since 1964. Its mission is to support individuals and families in need with services, opportunities, and practical tools to help them lead productive and fulfilling lives. The organization works across early education, senior care, and community services, combining direct support with programs that encourage well-being, family engagement, and positive community participation.

Early education offerings include toddler childcare, preschool, Boston Pre-K, Early Head Start, and educationally based after-school programs. The Moulton Street site enrolls children ages 15 months to five years, with private-pay and voucher options and financial assistance available. For older adults, the center provides personal care and homemaking services, alongside activities intended to promote health, well-being, and independent living.

Community programs include the Charlestown Family Engagement Network and the Charlestown Farmers Market, as well as broader social services that promote strong family values and individual prosperity. The center also offers volunteer and internship opportunities, accepts donations, and shares events and impact reports.
