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 for cooking classes and nutrition workshops, with essential appliances like an oven, 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. Your future support will be integral to bringing this vision to life and creating a space where youth can thrive.
DonateOur 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.
