ROCHESTER — Waypoint unveiled its new Rochester Youth Resource Center Monday, and next Monday, Oct. 31, the doors will be open to all Tri-City and Seacoast area youth, whether they are homeless, need a place to find services and help, or are just looking for a friendly place where they can connect and talk.
Located at 3 Wallace St., the center is not a shelter and there are no overnight facilities. To begin, the center will be open 11 a.m-6 p.m. on Mondays, Tuesdays and Thursdays, and 11 a.m.-4 p.m. on Wednesdays and Fridays.
"We have been doing community-based work in the Rochester area for decades," said Erin George Kelly, director of homeless youth and young adult programs for Waypoint. "We have seen steady increases in young people referrals. This shelter will help meet the needs."
