The Power House Youth Center was created from a vision of outreach to a population of teens in need. Pastors Brian Gerig and Brad Bame shared this vision with their home congregations. From much prayer came the ideal building, funding, and church support. Maplewood Mennonite Church and Central Mennonite Church agreed to purchase the building and allow The Power House Youth Center to use it free of charge for the duration of their existence. These two congregations also made the investment to support part of the general operating expenses each year. With many volunteer hours spent on remodeling, maintenance, cleaning, and planning, in May of 1995 the 8,000 square foot three-story building opened to the youth of New Haven and the surrounding communities. The entire operation was supported and manned by volunteers. The focus of the first year was to win the confidence of the local teens. The volunteers built relationships with the teens and determined some of the immediate needs. From that first year came many of our current programs, rules, and relationships. After several years, The Power House Youth Center applied for its own not-for-profit status and incorporation. In May of 1997 we received our official status as a corporation. Then in November of 1997, we were awarded our 501(c)(3) status as a not-for-profit organization. These standings allowed us to move forward as our own entity. With the help of The Paul Clarke Foundation, The Power House Youth Center was able to hire one full time and one part time director in 1998. Because of the continued support, we were able to raise the needed funds to move our part time director into a full time position in 1999. Having two full time staff allowed us to provide better services for our membership, more efficient organizational management and organizational growth. Over the years, we have been able to hire additional part time staff, interns, and collaborators to assist with the growing operations. Our effectiveness in our mission has come from building relationships with our teen members, volunteers, and the community. Having become established in our community has also allowed the teens to feel safe. They know they can count on The Power House Youth Center, the volunteers, and the staff to be available for them on a long-term basis. 2015 was our 20th year of serving the youth of our community!

The iCREATE

Lab

The iCREATE Lab was

designed for the specific

purpose of engaging youth

in areas of artistic

expression. Whether it's

recording music or learning

Photoshop, we have created a

space for students to excel in

areas of artistic expression.

Jack Stewart is the project manager of the iCREATE Lab. In the Fall of 2015, Power House recruited a music intern

who studied voice, guitar, and percussion. Jack Stewart graduated from the South Eastern Regional College where

he received his National Diploma in Music Performance.

Volunteers have been a key to the success of The Power House Youth Center. We currently have over 100 volunteers representing a variety of schools, organizations, businesses, and churches. Volunteers help in a variety

of ways at the Power House. In 2015 over 1600 hours were volunteered in the Power HouseThe Power House volunteers range in level of participation, background, and age. Each person plays a vital role

in building foundations to impact the teens. Our Interns play a vital role in programming as well as allows staff to train, mentor, and model students seeking

vocation in education, social services, and youth ministry.

We love our volunteers and interns

“A student has been placing post-it notes all over Power House. Some of the notes are quite funny! However, we sensed that the real reason for the notes are that he doesn't want to be forgotten--each post-it note is subtle cry to be remembered.”

We are preparing students for adulthood mentally, physically,

and spiritually!
