Common Councillor Peter McGuire is enthused about the prospect of One Change taking over the operation of the North End Community Centre.
He says the people at One Change should follow the example of what's being done in Harlem with a heavy emphasis on educating young people in the Old North End and Lorne Middle School should be the anchor.
McGuire also says there should be constant evaluation on how well the programmes are working with feedback from the people they're intended to help.
Councillor Chris Titus concurs saying without education, no one moves ahead.
The Harlem programme in New York City has a budget of 100 million dollars to work with.
