Sorry for those who have occasionally clicked that link in my email footers, or have this page bookmarked and was bored one day at work, or for any youth who found their way to this page from the Computer Rules pop-up.  We are here and we exist!

The major changes to the Grant Street Neighborhood Center in the recent months:

1. Programming: We are still learning what works and what doesn’t.  Because of this, we have since cut down on formal/scheduled programming and instead have increased our pick-up-and-go activities, and look to expand more.  This will include: more Playstation game nights, more video games in general, more small arts & crafts projects, and more “chill time.”
2. Youth Organizing: With the help of PUSH and MAP, one opportunity for youth to engage in the Center and their community is to take part in our youth organizing start-up.  Every week, we will have some “action” to it, along with moving forward Big Plans Coming This Summer.  This may include flyering for upcoming events, making phone calls, helping with mailings, and in the future, working on different neighborhood projects.
3. New Staff!!!  As much as y’all love me (Janice, that is), I need some help to make this place run even better than ever.  So we’ve hired another WNY Americorps member to help run summer hours.  Please give Bryana a big welcome anytime you stop by!
4. Summer Plans: They are still in the works, but we are looking at 1) more stuff to do, 2) really awesome air conditioning and 3) new summer hours!

Keep checking back with more events coming up … I’ve already got one I will be posting soon :)
