Get in The Center and make an IMPACT!                                                                                             
If you want to make an impact on this community, you can’t watch from the sidelines.
You have to get engaged. You have to put yourself in the Center where you can see our many
opportunities for lasting impact. You can help us provide...

• Caring adult relationships
• Homework support
• Safe environments for recreation
• Learning through service
• Experiential learning
• Leadership opportunities
• Collaborative youth-serving partnerships
• Creative enrichment
• Spiritual development opportunities

We’re passionate about making an impact because, with your help, Whitley County teens can have...
• Lives that are well rounded and better balanced
• Improved social skills
• Healthier relationships
• Respect for themselves and others
• Skills and attitudes that will make them more employable 
• Better chances for current and future education
• New or renewed hope for their present and future 

We also believe that we can make a significant enough impact on youth to decrease local
youth crime, teen sexual activity and youth drug and alcohol use, while showing them how
to increase the productive uses of their time.

But we can’t achieve our mission or make an impact without resources! That’s why we need
your help. Interested in helping us pursue this vision?
