With more than 13,000 youth between the ages of 5-18 living in Lancaster, approximately 12,000 of our kids are not being provided with any sort of space to engage in outreach or extracurricular programs. The CDCF recognizes that there is a void in providing a place for our youth to focus on their personal development and academic initiatives.
The mission of the center is to fill that void by offering a safe haven for kids to attend after school. Here we will afford them the opportunity to develop personal relationships with their peers, as well as mentors and staff members. The center will also serve as a catalyst for the youth to establish a sense of self-worth, accountability and pride in our community.
The building will be approximately 20,000 square feet, located on the 500 block of North Street, and will include a computer lab, game room and multi-purpose room to be utilized for academic tutoring, art, music and computer classes, life skills coaching, and athletic and wellness programs.
UPDATE: On November 16, 2009, CDCF met with the city Zoning Hearing Board where we received unanimous approval of our building plans!
