A community center is ready to kick off the school year. 

On the WHOW Morning Show Monday, Tammy Wilson, Executive Director of The Vault in Clinton, told Regional Radio The Vault is a community center where teens can learn leadership and social skills.

The Vault encourages teens to grow in their leadership skills and Wilson says they look for kids who may not have reached their potential yet and nominate them for leadership positions within the organization. 

Wilson notes they will host a kickoff event - a disco - this Thursday from 5-8 p.m. for junior high and Friday from 7:30-10:30 p.m. for high school. They also have their Wild West Jail Break fundraiser event coming up on Saturday, September 7th. 

If you'd like to volunteer for the fundraiser, or any other programming, or register your student for The Vault, you can visit them at thevaultclinton.org or call at 217-934-4003.
