Since its Grand Opening on October 21, 2023, the Amado Youth Center has been a dream realized. The Amado Youth Center offers programs promoting life skills, academic advancement, and career development. Situated within Kay Stupey Park, adjacent to Sopori Elementary School, the Center welcomes all local youth to the only safe afterschool space in the area.

The grants we receive are invaluable, but they don’t cover all the costs of running the only safe, after-school facility in our rural area. They also don’t fully fund our professional staff, educational field trips, the career development opportunities that our youth would not otherwise have, or our parent workshops.

 Your tax-deductible donation will help our youth build their futures and realize their dreams. The Amado Youth Center is the sole beneficiary of funds raised by the Amado Chili Cookoff.
