The mission of Community Services is to provide the residents of Andover a myriad of social, educational, cultural and recreational opportunities embracing diversity and accessibility for all. DCS continues to rate the pulse of the community and transfuse their ideas into valued programs for its citizens now and in the future. A vigorous departmental effort continually improves service to our citizens. Healthy enrollment is attributed to a repertoire of community-based instructors, streamlined registration including Fax, VISA/MasterCard, overnight mail box and increased identification with the DCS catalog.
