Basketball, pool, and other game tournaments encourage teamwork and recognize youth accomplishments. Tutoring and homework assistance increases students' opportunities to experience academic success and learn what they really can do. Participation by young people in such projects as concerts and car washes lets them contribute to building support for the Center. The building has a game room, small gym for basketball and volleyball, TV room, stage area, and several offices used for computers, homework and tutoring. Equipment includes a ping-pong table, shuffleboard, two pool tables, study tables, TV games and books.
Space is available outside for other planned facilities, such as a volleyball court.
A dedicated committee of parents, volunteers, and other citizens has kept the Center open and continues to provide guidance in regular meetings. Funding is provided by contributions from the City, business and civic organizations, churches and individuals. A committed Director and numerous regular participants make the Center a going concern. Additional financial support, especially regular committed contributions, is needed to expand programs to meet needs. The community has observed that noticeably fewer young people are congregating in the courthouse square and similar places in the evenings.
