The Woodridge Community Resource Center, located at 8274 Janes Avenue, offers programs to assist residents with a safe place to go after school, parenting support, ESL, and computer learning classes to the entire community.  The CRC offers two main programs, the After School Program and the Summer Camp Program.

In 2006, the CRC in cooperation with the Village of Woodridge, the Woodridge Police Department, DuPage County Health Department, School District 68, and the Lisle-Woodridge Fire District added the Latino Outreach Program.  The combined efforts of this coalition will offer educational and culturally specific information to the Latino community in Woodridge, thereby increasing their awareness of their own personal safety, addressing the cultural differences in the community, and contributing to the change of unsafe behaviors.  The Latino Outreach Program was named one of 73 finalists in the 2006 Awards for Municipal Excellence for communities with populations under 50,000.  Woodridge was one of only three Illinois finalists.
