Description:

WKTY Cares January donation supports the La Crosse YMCA Community Youth Center.

We were able to tour the center, and meet with it’s dedicated staff, and learn more about how the center serves our community. The Community Youth Center is a safe drop-in center for youth ages 10–17, with free activities that are engaging, attractive to young people and make use of their talents, energy and creativity. The Center offers skill-building and recreational opportunities and is staffed by positive, caring adults who are trained to work with adolescents.

The facility includes a spacious kitchen designed to foster community and learning, allowing children to share meals and develop important life skills in healthy meal preparation, cooking, and cleanup. A cozy living room provides space for homework and connection, while additional rooms include a computer lab, a game room, an art room, and a movie projection screen—plus much more. Free clothing and toiletries are available to all youth.

The Youth Community Center is located at 1105 King Street, behind the La Crosse YMCA. During the school year, hours are Monday through Friday from 3:30–7:00 p.m., and weekends and non-school days from 12:00–4:00 p.m. Summer hours are Monday through Friday from 12:00–7:00 p.m., with weekend hours from 12:00–4:00 p.m.

You can learn more about the Youth Community Center by contacting the La Crosse YMCA at 608-782-9622.

WKTY Cares thanks Kratt Lumber and Performance Food Service for their ongoing commitment to supporting our community.
