We come alongside our region’s youth to support them in becoming individuals who contribute to their communities, lead successful lives, and achieve future aspirations.
A Reimagined Student Union
We see the Raymond Santmyers Youth Center as the setting for the new Student Union, a welcoming space for students that allows them to build confidence and positive relationships in a drop in environment that offers the freedom to pursue their needs and passions in a safe space.
Our Service programs support our community in both body and spirit.
