LEARN. HEAL.
THRIVE.
Welcome!
At the Buren-Douglass Neighborhood Center, we believe community wellness grows from the ground up. Whether tending a garden, joining a wellness class, or learning about local history, residents of Herculaneum and Jefferson County come together here to learn, heal, and thrive.
What We Offer
-
Our programs support the whole person—mind, body, and spirit. Through hands-on classes, support groups, and wellness activities, we provide tools for living healthier, more connected lives.
-
With the help of local partners and generous land access from Buren Chapel AME Church, our garden is a living classroom. It provides fresh produce, promotes environmental care, and reconnects neighbors to the land.
-
From green careers to local history, our educational offerings build knowledge and confidence. Youth and adults alike explore leadership, ecology, and innovation—right here in their own neighborhood.
Get Involved
We offer weekly classes every Tuesday and Thursday, plus ongoing workshops and seasonal events. Whether you're here to learn, grow, or connect—there’s a place for you at BDNC.
