The Missoula Family YMCA will unveil plans next Thursday for its new Youth Innovation Center, which will house a science and technology center, e-gaming lab and a digital arts studio next year.
The new center was made possible through Spectrum’s Digital Education Grant Program, in which the YMCA received $30,000. The donation from Spectrum was made in support of the YMCA’s $15 million Here for Good capital campaign, which seeks to revitalize the Russell Street campus.
“With more than 7,000 western Montana kids utilizing the campus regularly, building a new Youth Innovation Center to increase access to high-quality, out-of-school learning experiences and expand our STEAM (science, technology, engineering, art and math) programming is an exciting component of our campus revitalization project,” said Heather Foster, Missoula Family YMCA CEO.
