BUILDING TWENTYONE REBUILD

The past few years have been a whirlwind. In 2018, with great sorrow, we lost our facility to a fire. The damage was too much to rebuild from what remained. That place held so many memories. We watched as students grieved the loss of the building. As time has passed and as we’ve operated our teen center out of a shared space, we have realized that Building 21 is not simply a building. Rather, it is a community that we all get to be a part of-a community that we all get to grow from.

This space will begin a new chapter that we look forward to starting while not neglecting the present chapter we are in. As we look forward, we remember where we have come from. As we all know, a lot has happened since 2018. A lot of stuff that was completely unexpected and unplanned. We recognize what a gift it is that we get to move forward in this exciting new way despite the many challenges along the way.

With thankful hearts, we look in anticipation at what lay ahead. We have broken ground, and we have begun putting up the shell of this new space we get to call ours. We are incredibly excited to share the updates of this building as we progress and move forward.

We sincerely thank everybody who has continued to believe in our mission these last few years. This building is being built because of you, and we will continue to serve the surrounding teenagers and families because of you. From the bottom of our hearts, thank you. 

We could not be more excited!!
