For 37
years, The Youth Center has provided quality affordable
programming to area youth. Conveniently located just off
Route 31 North, on the border between Hunterdon and Warren
Counties, our unique facility has over 7,000 square feet, a
full-sized gym, a picnic grove and pavilion, complete
kitchen, two age-appropriate fully equipped play years and
brightly painted classrooms with large windows creating a
cheerful, sunny and warm learning environment. In spite of
our large space, we make a point to keep our class sizes
small so that every face is familiar, and everyone is made
to feel special.
We work
with the United Way of Hunterdon and Warren Counties, as
well as state, local and private agencies, to ensure that
our programs are always available to those who wish to
participate. We strive to keep our tuition as low as
possible, and financial assistance will always be provided
to those who meet eligibility criteria.
