Our Plan In Action
Our office space will be equipped with high-end technology and furniture to support productivity, including computers, filing cabinets, desks, and chairs. The conference room will be tailored for collaborative discussions and presentations, featuring a table, chairs, a projector, screen, and a whiteboard. The kitchen will be designed with essential appliances like a refrigerator, and microwave/air fryer, along with a communal break room table. Ensuring a clean and hygienic environment, our bathroom supplies will include cleaning materials and paper towel dispensers. Our space will foster an environment for children to learn daily household skills and responsibilities. Your ongoing support will be integral to bringing this vision to life and creating a space where youth can thrive.

Our Vision
Our youth center’s floor plan will be strategically designed to provide a dynamic and engaging environment for the youth we serve. In the youth space, we envision a comfortable sitting area for discussions and quiet reading, gaming tables to encourage social interaction, and a diverse array of toys, board games, tables, and chairs for versatile activities. Musical instruments and a video game setup will aim to promote creativity and entertainment, while organized storage and a stereo system will enhance the overall atmosphere. Having a means to educate, to communicate, and a safe, clean functional space will be essential for the success of our future initiatives.
