Upgrades to the Expanding Horizons Youth Center

Over the past two weeks, staff at the Tribal Community Center in Myrtle Creek have been working hard to upgrade several areas near the Expanding Horizons Youth Center (EHYC) classroom.  EHYC staff want to welcome students back for the 2021/2022 school year by giving them an inviting space that will enhance their educational and artistic abilities this year.  They plan to encourage STEAM (science, technology, engineering, arts, and math) activities daily.

Some of the permanent changes and fixtures in the classroom include:

  • A game room
  • A book nook
  • Sphero education
  • Vinyl cutting
  • A quiet room
  • 3D printers
  • A laser cutter
  • New cubbies

Youth in grades 3-12 may apply to join the EHYC. The registration form is currently available in PDF on www.cowcreekeducation.com under “Tribal Community Center (TCC) Program,” or you may contact the Tribal Community Center at 541-860-7296. Leaflets with EHYC program information are available at 825 NE Leon St in Myrtle Creek.
