The Youth Center, Inc. was established in 1974 to serve youth, teens, adults, and families of Adams and the surrounding communities by the efforts of Harold Levesque and the Adams Lions Club. The goal of the Youth Center is to promote comprehensive, individual development through community–based educational, recreational and supportive activities to families and youth of the community.

Age-appropriate, project-based learning activities are designed to help with each child’s healthy development. Staff performs weekly outreach at the schools in Adams, Cheshire and Savoy, offering activities in reading, science, visual and performing arts, and a variety of other age appropriate activities designed to help with each child’s healthy development.

A Drop-In Center open Monday-Friday from 1-6pm offers kids of all ages a state-of-the-art computer lab with Internet access, a game room with a pool & ping pong table, skeet ball, arts and crafts, board and video games, and a lounge area.

After School homework sessions are available thanks to the internship programs through MCLA. The Youth Center also offers non-school day programs in visual and performing arts programs, technology, youth-empowerment; along with various other programs for youth, adults and families.

Annual events such as the Halloween Party, Make-It Take-It Fair, Spring Egg Hunt, and Campfire Night are fun events for all to enjoy.
