We are Vera Court
Empowering the Northside of Madison’s community through inclusive programming that supports youth, adults, and families in reaching their full potential.
Keeping our community stronger.
Since 1994, Vera Court Neighborhood Center’s mission has been to support its community in addressing the needs identified by its residents.
Through the support and guidance of community members, local businesses and nonprofits, as well as the school district and Madison Colleges, the center has grown to touch the lives of more than 5,000 Northside residents each year.
Our Vision
Our vision is to nurture a supportive, thriving community where every child has access to academic support, healthy meals, enriching programs, and caring mentorship, empowering them to succeed in school and beyond.
Through year-round programs, family assistance, and cultural activities, we aim to create opportunities for growth and build a stronger, more inclusive future for all.
Our Values
Family. Community. School.
For more than two decades, we have worked in tangent with our Vera Court families and Northside schools to develop programming that reflects the changing needs and celebrates the strengths and diversity of our community.
