The 10,045-square-foot center will be located next to the gym. And it will be capable of facilitating 50 youth and 100 teens.
It will include 10 multipurpose rooms that will accommodate a range of activities including a career room, sound studio, game area, life skills and learning center. There are also plans for separate outdoor areas for youth and teens.
The new Teen Enrichment Center will also serve as a model for other communities, said Lake County Commissioner Doug Shields. It s so important that we support young people who truly are our future, Shields said. The Teen Enrichment Center will host recreational, educational and enrichment programs for elementary, middle and high school students.
