The History Center is a site and organization that welcomes young people and respects the ideas and interests of youth in this community. Out of school programs for teens include:

• Generation to Generation - An intergenerational oral history project - learn about oral history, and conduct an interview with an adult in the local community. Past projects include interviewing restaurant & food-business owners who have immigrated to the United States, and exploring local women’s history. Learn more about our Oral History collection here. 

• Youth Ambassador Program - A year-long leadership program for high school students, exploring aspects of our local history. Create a project as a team that has a positive impact on our local community. Youth Ambassadors are also invited to participate in other leadership events and opportunities at the organization.
