Providing every child with the tools to find their spark

For 10 years, we hosted classes and hustled our students, parents and our volunteers between 5 libraries in 5 cities. A logistics challenge, but we kept on going. With the Youth Training Center now open, we have a place to call home. Students and the Community can use the center for a host of activities.
