Midcoast Youth Center: Unlocking Every Young Person’s Potential
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Jamie Dorr founded the Midcoast Youth Center in 2016 after a community tragedy. It's mission: unlock the inherent potential of every young person, while empowering them to thrive. In the last ten years, the center and adjoining skate park have become a safe haven for young people where they can be themselves, have fun, and ask for help if they need it. Jamie and her team embody what it means to lean into your community, and be a positive force for change.
