Penns Valley Youth Center
Their mission is to provide students in the community with hope, worth, and friendship. To do so we provide a fun and safe environment in order to encourage healthy habits and
promote wise choices. Teenagers from every walk of life need
a place outside of the home and school where they can relax, have fun, meet friends and be themselves. We operate an After School Program that includes tutoring, workshops, healthy foods, gym time and weekly family style dinners. We just contracted with a counselor to have on-site appointments available to students and their families. Over the past 8 years, we have worked hard to build relationships with the Penns Valley School District, local churches and businesses and individuals
that are all working together to take care of the students in Penns Valley.
