* The Asarese Youth Center is a vital recreational site for youngsters, one block from the College on Rees St. There are about 300 youth per week who attend the center on a regular basis. The majority are from low income families and some are newly arrived refugees. The Asarese Center represents a "safe haven" in which to play and learn.
