Welcome to Fay Biccard Glick Neighborhood Center

At FBGNC, we have adopted the "Family Campus" model, focusing on improving lives from cradle to Recycled Teenager (infant to senior) through intergenerational engagement, health, diversity, and programs for all ages.

Our Family Campus offers dual-language childcare curriculum, Spanish as a second language for adults, and community diversity fairs. We aim to enhance our current programs and involve more participants from the Crooked Creek area, collaborating with organizations to improve residents' quality of life. At FBGNC, we stand with our community, advocating for every voice to be protected, heard, and seen. We strive for equal access to education, housing, healthcare, peace, and justice, recognizing that every aspect of our lives matters.

FBGNC serves residents between I-465 on the North and West, 38th Street to the South, and Spring Mill/White River to the East.

I am Patrice Duckett-Brown, and I am honored to be the Executive Director at Fay Biccard Glick Center.  The Fay Center is what I would call my passion and DREAM career.  I sit within the position with over 20 years of community organizing, nonprofit support, and grassroots outreach experience.  At the center of my work, I focus on ensuring that every client has a dignified and intentional experience when they walk through the community center doors.   As a mother who has seen hard times, I aim to create, implement, and support programs geared toward the entire family, programs that eliminate immediate barriers versus building additional obstacles, and help deter oppressive policies that hinder families.  Because I work in my passion, you will always see me engaged and participating in events encouraging change.  My staff is state-of-the-art, innovative, full of life, and ready to serve!  Having such a fantastic team and leading an organization that engages the Northwest community is an honor and a privilege!
