Allen Neighborhood Center is a mid-sized nonprofit based in Lansing's Eastside, operating in the civic and social sector. It serves as a hub for capacity building, neighborhood revitalization, and urban agriculture education, along with other activities designed to improve health, safety, and economic well-being for residents and other community stakeholders on the Eastside. In 2023, the center expanded its network through partnerships, including with Lansing Common Football Club and Michigan State University's Trans-ilience lab to establish the Gender Affirmation Project. The organization also launched a 10-week pilot program with four farmers in January 2023, and the founding executive director retired in February 2023.
