YOUTH CENTER
Welcome to USCG Base Kodiak Youth Center located in the Northern Lights Recreation Facility (Base Gym). Our Youth Center is one of only four Coast Guard youth centers to maintain an affiliation agreement with the Boys & Girls Clubs of America (BGCA), which allows our staff to tap into the excellent programs and opportunities offered by the BGCA. Our youth activities staff does a fantastic job of keeping our youth busy, with a monthly calendar packed with daily, weekly, and seasonal events for ages 10-18. Eighteen-year-olds must be enrolled in high school. Staff also facilitate camps and sports seasons for K-8th grades, including, but not limited to: drama, soccer, bowling, archery, basketball, volleyball, and cheerleading or dance.
Keep your eye out for our special monthly events like Family Skate Night!
Our Youth are Leading the Way!
Join us for a powerful day of community, remembrance, and service—all proudly hosted and served by the incredible Keystone & Torch Club Youth Leaders!
Let's come together to honor the heroes who serve our community every day. We're holding a special 9/11 Memorial Ceremony to pay tribute to our local firefighters, police officers, and first responders. And to thank you for joining us, our youth leaders will be serving a FREE BBQ LUNCH right after the ceremony!
Come for the ceremony, stay for the food, and most importantly, stand with our youth as they serve those who serve!
