By Joseph Slacian
 
For 30 years, The Access Youth Center has provided youth from around Wabash County with a safe place to spend time after school, in the evenings and on the weekend.
 
The faith-based center hosts a variety of programs to help fill the needs of youth and their families, including the after school meal and summer lunch programs, family nights, Bible study and more.
 
Officials there are now reaching out to the public to help them with a need of their own.
 
The Access, 74 W. Canal St., is in need of a major renovation. The price tag is more than $200,000, of which officials already have raised $85,000. They are working to raise additional funds, and hope the community will step up and help.

Eighteen Wabash County student artists will be exhibiting their artwork and honing their entrepreneurial skills at the ninth annual Best of the Best Art Gallery on Sunday, May 15.
 
Established in 2007, the program was created to expand student art abilities and develop entrepreneurial skills needed to sell the artwork.
 
However, to the participating artists, it has provided much more than that.

Garrett Labuda, Heartland Career Center representative and first year participant, told The Paper of Wabash County that the program helped him realize his passion for art.

“(Heartland) encouraged me to come here toward the end of my junior year because I’d work ahead in class, get stuff done and so I’d then start drawing in class,” Labuda told The Paper of Wabash County.
