In 2001, a local pastor and businessman saw the opportunity for a reclaimed car garage to serve a greater purpose than service vehicles. The Garage Community & Youth Center (The Stone Garage) was born from his passion to serve the community and almost two decades later, we continue to thrive in Kennett Square. This success launched the desire to open a second location to serve more youth in the surrounding communities. In 2011, The West Grove location opened its doors to local youth.
The mission of The Garage is to empower youth to pursue their potential academically, relationally, and spiritually. Our desired impact is to: help youth make wise decisions about themselves, their core convictions, their relationships, their educational pursuits, and interactions with their communities. We assist students to begin a cycle of hopefulness by acknowledging and taking steps to overcome life challenges, engage in Garage programs, trusting The Garage as a second home, taking part in shaping activities, and enjoying Garage experiences.
