For more than 40 years the focus of this community agency has remained on youth from disadvantaged circumstances, who lack appropriate resources and role models for success in school and/or employment. The mission has broadened from recreation and socialization to include education in a broad range of life skill areas. In 1988 a $1,300,000 Capital Campaign built the current facility in the south-side of the city on Pleasant Grove Rd. The location was chosen because of it's high density of youth and need for additional recreational and family support services. In 1990, the building and program began operating for 800 youth. Since the opening of the present facility in June 1990, over 25,000 youth have been served.
