In August, the Bowen Youth Centre not only received a new face lift but also welcomed John Stiver as its new youth services coordinator. Young people aged 12 to 18 have a clean, safe and comfortable space to hang out and just be themselves. Aside from having a great connection with the teens, Stiver brings a professional background in music to the table that lends much credence to the popular jam sessions held at the centre.
"The best part of 2011 was having the opportunity to get to know some of the amazing young people on Bowen.
In the New Year, we hope to continue to develop our programs like the Thursday Jam Session, as well as add some new and exciting ones such as an art series, and some special programs geared towards girls on Bowen."
