YMCA Brighter Horizons Youth Center

Brighter Horizons Youth Center

The newly renovated community outreach youth center serves as a hub for middle school students and will host parent workshops and family engagement events for families in the Hawkins County area. With 5,000 square feet, the building offers spaces for kids to engage in activities designed to stimulate the mind and make learning fun. Dedicated staff members create detailed program actives that focus on social emotional learning (SEL), life skills and fun for the kids who come to the center. 

In addition to providing educational enrichment activities and life skills, the youth center has a newly renovated kitchen, which will be used to cook, prepare, package, and deliver 5 component meals. Meals will be provided to the middle students at the youth center and delivered to 8 schools in Hawkins County, including:

Mt. Carmel Elementary, Carters Valley Elementary, Church Hill Elementary, Bulls Gap Elementary, Joseph Rogers Primary, Mooresburg Elementary, Hawkins Elementary, and St. Claire Elementary.
