Tolleston Opportunity Campus

The Tolleston Opportunity Campus is a $30 million investment on the property of our JWA Gary Club located at 2700 W. 19th Avenue. It brings together the Boys & Girls Clubs of Greater Northwest Indiana, Crossroads YMCA, Methodist Hospitals, the City of Gary and the Dean and Barbara White Family Foundation.

The Campus establishes a community gathering space to engage and connect residents and service organizations aiming to improve quality of life. The partners’ collective goal is to deliver exceptional spaces and programs that focus on education, social services, childcare, health/wellness, physical activity, talent development, entrepreneurship and economic advancement. Together, with input from residents, the Campus can be designed to meet the specific needs of the neighborhood.

Seed funding for this project comes from a Regional Economic Acceleration and Development Initiative grant (READI), the City of Gary and the Dean and Barbara White Family Foundation.
