Youth
Youth programs focus on leadership, employment, health and wellness. Youth workers provide teens with opportunities to increase their leadership skills, connect with employers in the community and acquire employable skills. Youth workers support teens with self-growth and enhancing life skills through a variety of activities. Youth Health and Wellness classes provide teens with the opportunity to be active and gain knowledge on ways to incorporate healthy habits into their life. The Multimedia Studio is a free music recording program that gives youth access to state-of-the-art recording equipment and professional instruction so they can write and perform their own unique music.
