What they do

Youth ages 10 to 17 register for the free evening center, online or in person, and join homework help, arts and crafts, cooking, gaming, boxing, sports, and field trips. Families can also enroll children ages 8 to 12 in summer camp. The food pantry runs on set days from a trailer in the Garsed Center parking lot, but the site lists more than one schedule, so call before you go.

Your first visit

Feeling unsure the first time is normal. Most groups are glad when someone new walks in.

First step: Register a young person, ages 10 to 17, for the free Community Evening Resource Center, online or in person, or call 267-325-2115 with questions first..

You need to sign up first.

What to expect

A young person registers, then spends the evening on homework help and one or more activities such as arts and crafts, cooking, games, sports, or boxing. A meal is served, and the center provides free rides home. The site names its staff but does not say how many adults or volunteers are present each night.

Tips for your first visit

  • Call 267-325-2115 before the first night, since the site does not say whether walk-ins are welcome.
  • Registration is by the online form linked on the site or in person.
  • Round-trip transportation is free.
  • The office is open Monday to Friday, 7 am to 8 pm, and on weekends, 6 am to 6 pm.

Newcomer welcome

Fine for newcomers, but you may need to speak up (3 out of 5). Why we say this: The center is free and open to any youth in the age range, with a clear sign-up path, but the site does not say whether walk-ins are welcome..
