Today’s youth desperately need guidance and direction.

Use of the center is available to kids ages 10-18 at no charge.

Membership is simple, a signed permission slip from a parent or guardian, with OKs for all our “athletic activities”, and a commitment to complete at least 3 one-on-one mentorship courses with a trained Youth Venture volunteer.

Course lesson plans are available for parent’s review at the center and will soon be available online.
