Our center is created entirely based off of donations, fundraisers, volunteers, and gifts to our center. We would not be here without the help from others. Maintaining a teen center costs money and we would love to continue to grow and offer more availability, programming, and a continued safe space for our youth! There are lots of ways anyone could help. We have ways to donate your time toward projects and maintenance, item donations, and funds to help reach future goals. We have goals of a new basketball court outside, an outside sober environment for yard games and evening hangouts, a full service hygiene bathroom (will include a shower, washer/dryer, hygiene cabinet, sink, and toilets. Your funds will also help work toward hiring staffing to increase the availability of the center.
Thank you for considering sponsoring the teen center!
