Impact
This new facility brings with it an exciting array of potential and possibility. It’s a space that will enhance and launch growth in all of our programs, while inspiring the local community to get more involved. Beyond adding in quality, it will add in quantity as we’re able to appeal to and accommodate so many more members of our local community.
A Hub. Programs that are currently pressed into inadequate rented facilities will be housed in one, central location.
Space. The issue of overcrowding, which creates discomfort and limitation, will be resolved.
Diversity. Programs and services that could not be offered due to lack of facilities and other resources will now be made available.
Quantity + Quality. With more space and a usage plan that maximizes flexibility, the new center will accommodate multiple simultaneous programs and events without compromising.
Home. People in our community, especially youth and young families, will have a place they can go anytime – not only to participate in programs but also just to drop in, see friends, play, relax, have a coffee, exercise read, do work/homework, and simply be.
