Although the primary mission of the Center is to serve as an educational and recreational resource for teenagers, events for a variety of ages are offered. Not only is an afterschool program available to grades 6 and up, but Middle School Dances are held the first and third Saturday of every month, and the recently formed Adult Social Circle hosts a Game Day targeted to Senior Citizens the third Tuesday each month. During the summer the Center was open to all ages on Monday nights, free High School Nights were offered on Wednesdays, and a Summer Concert Series geared towards college age and up was held as well.
In addition the Center is a favorite location for birthday party rentals as well as family reunions, church dinners, and a great alternative for a fundraiser.
