Following the live stream, from 9:30-11:30, there will be an open house for visitors. There will be youth operating the equipment and available for interviews.* Please use the Calendly App for March 18 (link here) for in-person visits. This will allow us to have an idea of when you plan to attend, how many people will be in your group and will help us manage crowd flow.

We look forward to this great opportunity, highlighting the changes to our Mill Creek Youth Center.
