So much of the development of The Vault in Clinton has blown away founder Michelle Witzke and the response and turnout by the youth in Clinton is the latest surprise to her.

From the financial backing to the support of the community in the renovation of their downtown facility, Witzke at nearly every turn has expressed her gratitude for the outpouring of support for her dream of giving youth a safe place to be. Witzke says as The Vault becomes what she dreamed it would be, the turnout by students in Clinton has been very strong.

According to Witzke, as they bring students in, they are trying to throw tidbits of information at them they can carry with them when they are not at The Vault. She says they try to do short informational presentations before an event and she feels it has been well received.

Witzke says they have seen a record turnout among their junior high school students. She feels the activities and programs they offer are resonating with them and intriguing them to a degree they want to know what is going on.
