"It all began as a more profound way of thinking about community. Now, with over three decades and numerous subsequent projects to its name, The Working Centre is a local legacy beaming brightly from the heart of downtown Kitchener.
Founded by Waterloo alumni Stephanie Mancini (BA ’82) and Joseph Mancini (BA ’81, MA ’82) in the spring of 1982, The Working Centre serves as an ongoing response to unemployment and poverty within the community."
