Welcome to the depot!

“A Safe Place to BE and a Path to BECOME!”

The Depot Jordan Valley Teen Center (The Depot) is a faith-based, 501(c)3 non-profit organization that provides Teens in East Jordan and throughout the Jordan Valley a “Safe Place to BE” where their needs will be met through Christ-like love. Our goal is to help our Teens become connected, responsible, confident, equipped, and prepared young adults.

Since opening in January 2017, more than 600 teens have stopped by The Depot to check it out. These 600+ teens are primarily from East Jordan but include teens from 17 different school systems as well who spend part of their afternoons playing games, sports, doing creative art projects, and just visiting with their friends.

BE PART OF OUR SUCCESS!

Now that we are open 4 DAYS EACH WEEK to better serve our Teens with life-skills and self-esteem-building programs, a variety of classes, tutoring, mentoring, field trips, community resources, and career opportunities, there are three areas of need where we could use your support.

1. PRAYERS | We believe in prayer and that God works through people to accomplish His will and good works.

2. VOLUNTEERS | We are always in need of passionate volunteers to not only be solid role models but to serve at fundraising events and help with other projects throughout the year.

For more information on areas where you can volunteer, please call or text Scott Gillespie, Outreach Director, at (989) 444-1695.

3. FUNDING | Whether it’s a monthly pledge or a one-time, lump-sum donation, financial support is vital to maintain and expand everything from staff and day-to-day operations to programming, equipment, and healthy food for the Teens. Please Click Here to learn more about how you can donate to The Depot.
