 Youth Center Plans

Under the umbrella of a yet-to-be formed separate not for profit organization, Church on the Rock is in the early stages of  planning a 9,000 Square Foot Youth Center in and for the city of New Haven.  If you'd like to know more about our plans, or if your Youth Serving Organization is interested in obtaining space in such a center, click link to email COTR Youth Capacity Development Director, Orlando Yarborough.

Important: Here's what we're looking for in a name...
 

We are looking for names that are "youth friendly" and will reflect these components:

  • A fun, engaging and safe space for youth to hang out
  • Opportunities for Youth Leadership, Ownership and Creativity
  • Programs and activities to showcase talent, discover gifts and build skills.
  • A place where youth and adults partner to cultivate promising futures and make meaningful contributions to the world around them.
