GVCO Community Center Complex Update



A taste of the nice weather this past week and it gets GVCO thinking about what's in store over the next several months. Spring is a great time of year for our Community Service program, GVCO Caring Hands. This student driven service program will be coordinating and involved in a number of different projects. Scroll down to see some of the things that are planned for the coming months and how the GVCO organization has a profound positive impact locally and regionally through a number of these initiatives. We have a incredible number of volunteers helping many other organizations and causes throughout the year.

GVCO is super excited to see our new GVCO Community Center complex coming to life after many years in the making. This wonderful community asset will undoubtedly have a tremendous impact and most assuredly become a gather hub for many, many community gatherings, events and happenings.

Much of the sitework is complete. The foundation is going in. And the pre-engineered metal build has started to be delivered to the site. It's a VERY exciting time for our Great Valley community!

The Siddhant Suresh Scholarship Foundation once again helped a number of families with the cost of GVCO programming.

Nearly two thousand dollars in partial and full scholarships enabled children to participate in seasons of GVCO programming.

The scholarship was founded in memory of Siddhant Surresh, a 10 year old Great Valley boy who passionately loved participating in our GVBL programming. To learn more about how you may help other future families in need, please contact info@gvco.org or visit the Siddhant Suresh Scholarship page.

Even prior to the 2013 decision to purchase land, GVCO had begun to discuss how to incorporate older adult and senior programming into our plans. We have spent a good bit of time talking with the leadership of Surrey Services, Phoenixville Senior Center and the West Chester Senior Center. And of course we spoke with "our own" small group from the now defunct Great Valley Senior Center.

Through the years, GVCO has hosted a number of different senior programs; a very successful weekly bingo event that went on of 6 or 7 years, fitness/exercise and yoga classes. Many enjoyed our GVCO Pickleball program when the old GVBL Center facility was open.

We are now super excited as we are making great progress with the new GVCO Community Center, which is scheduled to open its doors later this summer. We have begun to revisit a number of programming ideas that we had put into our business plan over the course of a number of years. We will definitely be offering some things like pickleball to the older adult/senior Great Valley community, but we are also looking for people here in the community to help map out the programming plan and assist with volunteering within this programming.

If you would like to help develop older adult/senior programming at GVCO, please reach out to community@gvco.org.
