Youth Community Center (funded from NS ACH) The Youth Community Center, established with critical support from North Sound ACH, provides a safe, welcoming space for youth to access mentorship, life skills development, academic support, and recreational activities. The opening of the new facility in 2024 was a major milestone, offering young people a dedicated environment to grow, learn, and build resilience outside of school hours. Key accomplishments include the successful launch of diverse programming, such as life skills workshops, after-school tutoring, mental health support services, and culturally responsive Spanish-speaking parent groups designed to empower Latino families. The center also forged strong partnerships with local schools, healthcare providers, and community organizations, expanding access to comprehensive support for youth and families. Additionally, the purchase of a youth transportation van ensured reliable access to center activities, helping remove barriers for youth who otherwise lack safe or consistent transportation options.
