In the Spring of 2018 the idea of opening a youth center in Ringgold was born out of the hearts of a handful of passionate parents. LIFT Youth Center Inc spent the last 2 and a half years diligently connecting with existing community service providers and organizations, establishing our foundation, building leadership and chasing every financial lead. After receiving three BIG grants this Spring, we were able to BUY our building and are about to begin a remodel of the space so that we can open this February. The building itself is to be named the Claudia Nance Rollins Youth Center in honor of those grantors. And LIFT Youth Center Inc is the nonprofit entity doing the work. We have had a beautiful ground swell of support from the community and from students and families who are so excited to start attending! It has been a truly phenomenal journey so far!
