Northeast Youth Center

The Northeast Youth Center is committed to providing low cost recreational and educational opportunities. The program builds life experiences while enhancing the self-esteem in youth and teens from the community as we have proudly represented the City of Spokane’s Parks and Recreation Department since 1971. The Northeast Youth Center serves a diverse population of Spokane’s youth through a variety of low-cost activities, before and after school daycare, sports programs, and special events. Overall, the youth center promotes a culturally enriching environment to support responsible ways of learning social interactions and a place to feel respected and accepted. A home away from home! In 2003, the Northeast Youth Center created its own non-profit organization to help create a sustainable organization to help grow the center to meet the needs of the community. As the community changed, the center changed to better serve the children and expand services to reach the expanding need for our services. We became a licensed childcare center.

We give a safe, consistent and educational place for at-risk youth in the Hillard neighborhood. We provide transportation to and from school, 2 meals a day as well as educational support and childcare. NEYC's goal is to provide a home away from home for the children enrolled.
