Wabanaki Youth & Cultural Center

Home > About us > Wabanaki Youth & Cultural Center

The Wabanaki Youth and Cultural Center in Downtown Bangor will will provide much-needed youth services and spaces for culturally focused and supportive programming for our youth, including after-school enrichment activities for all of Bangor's children.

The space will provide a unique local attraction for families with a range of child ages. After-school drop-in programs with outdoor programming, art space, and safe spaces to hang out will benefit all youth in meaningful ways that keep them engaged.

Our center will have numerous features and capabilities including: a Traditional Foods Café, an outdoor walkway to the Penobscot River, a Mount Katahdin rock climbing wall, cozy cave corner, faux trees and indoor forest, a Penobscot River epoxy floor installation, a Youth art gallery, and a youth after-school workplace.

We are creating areas that will be interactive with a focus on our rich Wabanaki cultures and preserving our important natural resources here in Wabanaki Territory. We are planning to open in early 2024.

We hope you support our vision to share our food, our land and our culture to connect with all people living in Wabanaki territory.
