Family NightRyves Youth Center
Family Night at Ryves Youth Center is a collaboration between community partners who all share a mutual goal to help our neighbors. Family Night takes place every third Wednesday of the month from 4:30 pm to 6:00 pm at Ryves Youth Center. A new theme is featured every month that focuses on health and wellness, financial literacy, education, or homelessness. Each event includes a free hot meal provided by Chef Naomi Smith at the Kids Cafe and a guest speaker. The evening also includes games and activities for youth and adults. All families are encouraged to join in the Family Night fun. Activities begin at 4:30 pm in the lower level of Ryves Youth Center located at 1356 Locust Street.
