The purpose of the Center is to offer a sanctuary for
youth to be themselves, explore their creativity, and strengthen
their connection within and with others.
They will begin with a summer program offered free to youth from 6th
to 8th grade. In conjunction with the Lincoln summer lunches that
begin June 5th, the Center is offering their program on Tuesdays,
Wednesdays, and Thursdays from June 5th to August 1st, 12:30-5:00
PM. The program will be a combination of free time, organized
activities, group discussion, guest presenters, and outings--such as
art, writing, theatre games, and nature outings. Members from the
Lincoln community will be facilitating the program.

The Center is located at the First Presbyterian Church, 301 Pekin
Street, directly behind the Junior High School. The Junior High is one of the
two schools hosting the summer lunches, which makes attendance to the Center
easily accessible. Their facility offers spacious areas for youth to gather and
engage in a variety of individual and group activities.
