Youth Go Neenah is back open today after a brief winter break, giving children and teens a chance to learn new life skills by working together in a brand new kitchen.

The nonprofit’s kitchen remodel project transformed a small cramped space into a large space with room for all to wear the “chef’s hat.”

“We are thankful for the generosity of some wonderful donors, as we were in need of a new space,” says Kelly Martin Hicks, executive director. “This kitchen remodel will help us to increase efficiency and offer more life-skills programming to our youth.”
