I went to Albany Park Community Center as a kid, for their after school program and extracurricular activities. I commend the center for being so involved in the Albany Park community, which is the 3rd most ethnically diverse neighborhood in the U.S. My family eventually became friends with one of the volunteers there, and we invited her and her family to our family gatherings over the years.
They had International Night, where every family brought their own dish. Just think of it as a really big potluck. I had my first taste of kimbap there and was hooked for life! Overall, it's a wonderful community-based organization that offers programs for everyone - young and old.Listed in: Albany Park
