Middle school through college-aged youth may participate in the center's programs. The center also has a reference library, open to the community, that contains information concerning prevention of alcohol, tobacco and other drug abuses, career choice, personal growth information, resume writing, job application techniques, personal finance, nutrition and AIDS prevention. Our services are available to community programs, schools, various youth service organizations, the juvenile criminal justice system and substance abuse programs. Our goal is to enhance the ability to provide prevention and recreational activities for the high-risk youth of Baton Rouge. The center is open from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m., Monday through Friday.
Extended hours are available for scheduled activities in the evenings and on weekends.
We offer horseback riding, softball, volleyball, social parties, swimming, barbeques and games. Delta Haven is a division of BREC's Community Resources Department. Delta Haven is yet another way in which BREC is meeting the ever-growing and changing needs of the youth of Baton Rouge. We invite you to come by Delta Haven, meet the staff, and see for yourself what the center offers. The Academy of Performing and Visual Arts, part of BREC's program designed for at-risk youth, is sponsored by the Wesley Foundation at Southern University and other community partners.
