Encounter Celebrates 10 Years in Twin Ports
DULUTH - A place that provides young kids in the Twin Ports with a safe place to go celebrated a big anniversary Thursday.The Encounter youth center marked 10 years in downtown Duluth.
The center sees lots of young kids with many talents and creative abilities and Encouter staff members say if they didn't have a place to go like their building they're more like to end up finding ways to express themselves that aren't always positive.
"So the Encounter being here, the skate park, music programming, you know the gym upstairs, we're able to give them a place just where, just to be comfortable to do the things they enjoy."
The Encounter has received well over 100,000 visits from young people since opening its doors and serves more than 600 different young people per year.
