The grounds at Havertown Center (1105 Earlington Road) look nice and clean now. It has been a snowy, messy winter and a windy beginning of spring, leaving lots of dead leaves, sticks and bits of trash and papers strewn all over the grass and around the Center entrances. Just a few weeks ago, on Sunday, March 21, teens from Walking the Walk were outside Havertown Center with rakes, brooms and trash bags cleaning up. And they even planted tulips in the planters!
Havertown Center, located in the old Brookline School on Earlington Road, is a community center serving older adults and promoting positive aging in our community. The Center is a vibrant community where aging is continually re-defined.

“Walking the Walk is an initiative that provides teenagers with experiences, skills and resources necessary to live in a diverse world, deepen their own identities, and break through walls that distance and divide them from people of other religious, cultural and economic backgrounds.”
In collaboration with the Haverford Township Clergy Association, Rev. Nicole D. Diroff of the Interfaith Center has brought its program to Delaware County. The Suburban Jewish Community Center-Bnai Aaron, Hope United Methodist, and Grace Trinity United Church of Christ are the Partner Communities and Havertown Center is the Community Service Partner.
Teens from these faith communities met five times from November to March for interfaith learning and dialogue, reflection and community building, focusing on the shared values of “Honoring My Self and My Heritage” and “Helping Those In Need." The teens finish this weekend, April 18, with Day of Environmental Action for Teenagers at the Cobbs Creek Community Environmental Center
