Summer is almost here and WYN mentoring is ready for it!!! We have a lot of people being promoted from 8th grade to the High School. We are also SO proud of our 2026 Watauga, Avery and Ashe High School Graduates!!

It’s been a while and if you’ve driven by, I’m sure you’ve seen the sizable construction equipment working on WYN’s future youth center! The steel structure has largely been installed and we’re getting closer to the future vision of having space in Watauga County for children to grow and safely explore new things.
🏗️
We are still working to raise approximately $3 million more to push this project to completion. If you have connections that may be interested in investing in WYN’s campaign and children, please connect them with us!

We’re so grateful for the time we get to watch these friendships flourish at WYN!
🧡
At Watauga WYN, we serve almost every school in the county. This gives kids from all areas of the county to develop friendships and get to know each other, whereas they may have not even met without coming to WYN. That’s one of the most special aspects of being a part of this community!

We have some serious bookworms at the Avery County Afterschool! After playing hard outside, our group loves to cool off during snack and reading time. 🧡

Avery afterschool is discussing inclusion and diversity during our Teen Health Club. Every week, we play a game followed by a discussion on our biggest takeaways. Here, a student races to help their teammates while balancing a sheet of paper on their head. 🧡
