Photos: Second Story Teen Center looks to open new building in 2025

Jeff VanAutreve, founder Second Story Teen Center, moves a piece of drywall on Wednesday, Dec. 12, 2024, in Princeton. Construction is coming along nicely. Work is expected to be completed in the spring of 2025. The center is $250,000 short of completing the project. The organization is asking the community for donations. Every week, Second Story Teen Center provides meals, mentorship and a safe place for about 150 teens to gather, grow, and thrive. Over the years, the center has been instrumental in fostering positive change in the community, contributing to a decline in teen suicide rates and teen theft. (Scott Anderson)
