who we are

Our mission is to build community by Creating safe spaces that foster genuine relationships, Inspiring work that is fulfilling and lifegiving, and Empowering young community leaders that grow and flourish.

DAThouse is the spirit that drives the mission behind all of the community growth initiatives you'll find in and around the Lincoln Center. The Lincoln Center itself functions as a physical community center and is home to Lincoln Lane Coffee Co., DAT Laundry, the LOFT co-working space, as well as being our own physical headquarters. You’ll also find us running free after care at our neighborhood school, James A Garfield IPS #31, and our nature-based microschool DATKids Academy nearby on the eastside. We are here to serve and proud to be neighbors within our growing community.
