In partnership with the City of Madison and Madison Public Library, the African Center for Community Development provides in-person assistance* to help offset housing costs by assisting residents with applications for services, jobs, and other financial benefits.
We provide help for people navigating application processes and filling out forms required for housing, immigration, food, health, and other community support services. For questions about the program, please call African Center at (608) 957-5623 or (608) 294-0066.

*Neither The African Center for Community Development nor Madison Public Library can provide legal assistance or advice.  We are not able to fill out applications on your behalf, or assess program eligibility. 

Drop-in and play games on the library's iPads, MacBooks, and Nintendo Switch. Minecraft, Roblox, Mario Kart, & more! Board games will also be available. There is a limited number of devices, so participants will take turns as needed. Regular attendees can choose to participant in Gamer BINGO and earn prizes!

Family and friend groups are encouraged to attend and play together. 

Youth 8 years and younger must have a caregiver with them during the program. 

If you are looking for a way to connect to nature on a different level, you're in the right place! Alex will discuss the benefits of sound baths and participants will have a 25-minute sound bath from Earthly Temptation’s Sarah Branch. Afterwards we will take a moment to notice the natural soundscapes around us and how to tap into the sound bath of nature.

Patrons are encouraged to bring their own blankets, yoga mats, or chairs to enjoy the sound bath.
