🚨IMPORTANT NOTICE📢

The Laura Richardson Houghton Youth Center will be closed this Friday, June 13th while basement renovations are being completed.

Contractors will be applying industrial-strength chemicals during this final phase, and out of an abundance of caution, we are closing for the day to ensure the health and safety of our youth and staff.

Thank you for your understanding and continued support as we improve our space. We’ll be back open and ready to welcome everyone next week!
