Special Projects

The Monroe Youth Center is making about 20 tie blankets to donate to the Christmas Stocking for shoppers to give to children. This idea originated from children who go to the center after school. Fisher Klarer, Trinity Riley-Oschsner, Mary Andrews, Alivia Henning and volunteer Tina Straws tie blankets.

The Monroe Youth Center runs on donations and is open to sixth- through eighth-grade students from 2:30 to 6 p.m. Mondays and 3:30 to 6 p.m. Tuesday through Fridays. 

Anyone who would like to teach students a craft, hobby or special program can contact Christina Johnson, 608-426-4185. High school volunteers are welcome to donate their time. There is also a wish list of snacks and donations.
