The wiki has this:

When the centre is open to general audiences (sometimes of a specific age
group or with specific interests), gathering for particular activities, it
should be tagged amenity=community_centre. When it addresses an audience
with specific problems, and/or is staffed with professional helpers (social
workers, nurses), amenity=social_facility would be preferred.

>From my initial thoughts and from that description amenity=community_centre
would be my pick. I think of men's sheds a bit like Scouts for youth, which
I'd also tag community_centre not social_centre.

Also the wiki has community_centre:for=m*a*n not community_centre:for=m*e*n
(https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:community_centre:for).
