Our Drop In
Program
Ellen Boyd
The Youth Center Drop-In Program is intended
primarily for kids ages 8 to 18 and is set up as a drop-in format, so
kids can come and go as they please.
For many kids, this provides the opportunity to
engage in fun supervised activities with their peers; while acting as a
good alternative to going home to an empty house, and idle activities
after school.
In order to participate in the drop-in program
youth must fill out contact information, and sign our rules. Parent/
legal guardian must sign contact information to verify its accuracy and
to acknowledge that they’re aware of their child’s participation here.

The Youth Center offers activities such as
foosball, air hockey, board games, pool, game cube, x box, and a computer
lab, as well as other organized activities.

Teen Meeting
This will give local teens the opportunity to voice their opinions
about what they’d like to see happening at the Youth Center; as well as
collaborate with others on how to deal with day to day issues. Meetings
take place the third Thursday of every month and begin at 5:00 p.m.
