The new effort, helmed by Parker in a newly created role, will bring programming beyond the center's two physical locations and into the broader community. Efforts include partnering with new developments, outreach in underserved neighborhoods and a mobile unit dubbed "RCC on Wheels" coming soon.
Programming runs the gamut from concerts and workshops to fitness classes and educational programs. While Reston residents receive discounted rates, all are welcome to participate. The center also offers scholarships and reduced fees for those in need.
"Reston Community Center and our principles and mission really align with One Fairfax. And equity is a big goal of ours and our fee structure really aligns with that," said Parker.

Each year, the Reston Community Center offers positive, self-development experiences that enhance the quality of life for all people living and working in Reston.
