Formerly called the North Hills Youth Ministry, this center is a non-denominational community service organization that provides family, marital, individual and group counseling, along with preventive, educational and advocacy services.

It was created in 1966 by the North Hills Ministerial Association to be a unique non-denominational outreach ministry to teens, initially supported financially by member churches. It is and still is primarily financed and supported by local community, with its direction provided by a board of directors rooted in local churches. The professional focus has gradually broadened and now includes both counseling and prevention programs for children, teens and adults.

The center regularly offers workshops and support groups at their suburban headquarters.

Mount Assisi Academy Preschool, a sponsored ministry of the school sisters of Saint Francis, provides a kindergarten-readiness program for children three to five years of age, promoting Christian values based on Catholic philosophy and Franciscan ideals.

At our preschool, we create a warm, loving, and caring atmosphere in which each child is given the opportunity to experience social, physical and academic growth. Children are presented with the means to develop their potential through group experience as well as individualized instruction. Developing a Christian attitude and the forming of a right conscience based on Catholic teachings are integral parts of our preschool's program.

About Northland Public Library

Northland Library has approximately 175,000 items in its collection. All items except for in-house reference materials are available for check out. Most of Northland's items may be reserved (if they're checked out to another patron) or renewed (if you haven't yet finished it).  The Library offers many free services to make access to our materials easier and provides other services to further our mission as a community resource for informational and recreational reading materials. Northland Library is unique because it is both a municipal authority and a non-profit organization. The library functions under the municipal authority code and has a seven member board comprised of appointees from the five municipalities who support the library with tax dollars.  The supporting municipalities are: Bradford Woods Borough, Franklin Park Borough, Marshall Township, Town of McCandless and Ross Township.
