The youth center and youth programming is a specific emphasis of our programming as we believe in investing in our youth. Amenities include: Makerspace for Adults and Youth Rental Space for Parties with a full Kitchen Coffee and Crepes Gift and Retail Shop Performing Arts Community Events & Activities Youth Center for grades 4-12 Youth Food Pantry Entrepreneurial Program for Adults and Youth CornerStone launched in 2019 in response to poor wellbeing of youth in Frazee-Vergas Schools. Eleventh grade students were polled and 52% responded that they experienced feeling down, depressed or hopeless within the past two weeks. In addition, 30% of 8th grade girls had identified feeling suicidal within the past year. When asked why they responded by stating these factors as being the problem: there is no where for students to be outside of school, for kids not in sports there is a lack of opportunities and especially artistic creative space, there is no where for them to eat or hang out, there is a lack of jobs or opportunities, and they don't feel adults care. Youth and adults in the community reviewed this data & identified solutions that will improve wellbeing outcomes. Solutions identified include: meaningful activities, a friendly and safe space with food options, art and creative outlets, jobs, retail and more. The new center combines solutions that will provide opportunities for all ages. Additionally, "By developing the city around a place, or strategically investing in neighborhoods around social centers, the city can take active strides in transforming spaces that contribute to residents’ health, well -being, and happiness " Frazee Comprehensive Plan 2019. We are here to serve and create a healthier community for all!
