GREAT FUTURES START HERE

Imagining What's Next: The New Youth Center Campaign

Every young person in Merced County deserves a place to learn, grow, and thrive. Our current facility has served this community well, and the needs and potential of Merced's youth continue to grow. More young people deserve access to safe spaces, mentorship, and opportunities that help them flourish.

Following the announcement of the High-Speed Rail development in Merced, our Board of Directors took a hard look at the future. What became clear is that our community's youth deserve a long-term solution that allows us to expand programs, reach more families, and create greater opportunities for generations to come.

 

We want you to be part of it from the very beginning. Come build it with us.

This is your opportunity to be at the table from day one.

BETTER

Young people in Merced County deserve more than a place to go after school. They deserve a space that inspires confidence, connection, and possibility. A Club built for the future.
