What’s happening at the Coronado Community Center?

Did you know that the Coronado Community Center (CCC) hosts a variety of social, educational, and health related activities every week? Located on the 2nd floor of the Village Mall, CCC was founded by the Panama Christian Foundation (PCF) in March of 2014. Since its inception, this simple facility has acted as a classroom, a studio, a dining room, and clubhouse. It has become a tool for locals to learn English and receive job training, a place for kids have fun and discover, and a meeting spot for social gatherings.The facility is open to all members of the community.Here is a closer look at some of the activities taking place at the CCC:

Children’s classes are offered every Saturday with a beginner’s class from 9:30 a.m. – 10:30 a.m. followed by an intermediate class from 10:30 a.m. – 12:30 p.m.  The classes for children focus on learning basic conversational words in a fun manner.
