In every community, boys and girls are left to find their own recreation and companionship. An increasing number of children are at home with no adult care or supervision. Young people need to know that someone cares about them. The Alfond Youth Center offers that and more. Club programs and services promote and enhance the development of boys and girls by instilling a sense of competence, usefulness, belonging and influence. The Alfond Youth Center is a safe place to learn and grow - all while having fun. It is the place where great futures are started each and every day. "The biggest...the best...the most successful! One like you ain't never seen before...is in Waterville, Maine, right here... one incredible facility!" -General Colin Powell, October 18, 1999
