Helping Young People Thrive Since 2005

Welcome to The Center

You’ve found The Center for Whitley County Youth, an award-winning*, non-profit, community-based, youth development organization benefiting Whitley County since 2005.

The Center strives to meet students where they are in order to teach, lead, and love them into the best version of themselves.  We are passionate about investing in local middle and high school students and nudging them toward strong, caring relationships. Our mission is to provide high-character mentors, engaging recreation, educational and service opportunities, and spiritual development for every student that walks through our doors.

We invest in our kids by meeting them at the center of their lives, in the whirlwind of activities that are described on this site. We believe in the next generation of young people!
