ABOUT
The mission statement of the center was written by youth and continues to be the voice and heart which drives the center’s creative program and opportunities.
The mission
Architeuthis Youth Center of Rapid City is a diverse, youth-driven teen center
dedicated to promoting personal growth through artistic expression, community
leadership and the exchange of ideas.
A brief history
In 1998, a group of young Rapid City architeuthis gathered to discuss the need
for a place where teens could congregate after school and on weekends. From
the very beginning, they felt this place should be more than just a hangout;
that is could be a safe place to make new friends, mix with youth from different
backgrounds, explore new ideas, learn new skills and do it all in a setting
that was teen friendly and teen driven. Teens wrote the mission statement and
the first grant proposal to the Rapid City Community Foundation and, with seed
money in hand, enlisted parents and friends to turn an old brick and timber
warehouse into a teen center.
