The Superior Carnegie Library building located at 1204 Hammond ave was the first thought of the Superior African Heritage Community. It is an Iconic architectural landmark with a history rooted in the community. We envision revitalization of this beautiful property that will also preserve its historic character while giving it a new life for the People of Color communities we serve.

Development of a Teen Challenge Center for our at risk youth in the City of Superior/Douglas County.
Our goal is to offer wrap around services to the community including the development of a Teen Challenge Center for our at risk youth in the City of Superior/Douglas County.
