Buckley YAC (Youth Activity Center)

Click Here to link to the Community Activities Program

The Youth Center Drop-In Program is intended primarily for kids ages 8 to 18 and is set up as a drop-in format, so kids can come and go as they please. For many kids, this provides the opportunity to engage in fun supervised activities with their peers; while acting as a good alternative to going home to an empty house, and idle activities after school.

In order to participate in the drop-in program youth must fill out contact information, and sign our rules. Parent/ legal guardian must sign contact information to verify its accuracy and to acknowledge that they’re aware of their child’s participation here.

The Youth Center offers activities such as foosball, air hockey, board games, pool, gamecube, x box, and a computer lab, as well as other organized activities.

Drop-in program hours run 2:30-7:30pm Tuesday - Friday & Saturday 1:30-7:30pm.
