Phase 1: The Youth Center

Launching Phase 1: Our Flagship Footprint

The Urban Youth Innovation Center serves as the primary operational engine and immediate launchpad for the Kingdom Phoenix Rising regional master plan. Housed in a premier, custom-engineered 10,000 square foot facility, this center bridges a critical gap for working families and home-schooled youth in Tift County.

Operating on a strict foundation of character discipline, accountability, and love, our facility provides safe, dependable, extended-hour care alongside hot, nutritious meals served daily. We are an inclusive, faith-inspired academy open to all families with open arms, designed to build leadership and self-reliance in the next generation

The 3 Daily Operational Blocks

Our 10,000 square foot facility transitions fluidly across three distinct daily operational blocks to maximize community utility and provide constant support during crucial hours:

1. Before-School Care (6:00 AM – 8:30 AM): Secure early drop-off, hot morning nutrition, and mental tracking to ensure traditional school students are prepared and focused for their academic day.

2. Mid-Day Home-School Hub (9:00 AM – 2:00 PM): A high-speed Wi-Fi-enabled learning lounge offering elective-style access to our innovation labs, tutoring, and physical training for home-schooled youth.

3. After-School Enrichment Labs (3:00 PM – 6:00 PM): A high-energy, structured environment where students receive a nutritious hot meal and rotate through our specialized vocational and athletic tracks.

The Six Innovation Mastery Tracks

To foster entrepreneurial thinking, creative expression, and physical excellence, our facility features six state-of-the-art instruction hubs:

• 🎙️ Media & Music Production Lab: A sound-isolated, professional recording studio environment where youth learn the fundamentals of audio engineering, music tracking, editing, and using digital audio workstations (DAWs).

• 📷 Social Media & Entertainment Studio: A modern digital literacy suite focusing on graphic design, video editing, lighting, and safe, strategic personal branding for the modern digital economy.

• 💈 Instructional Barbering & Hair Styling Station: A plumbed, fully equipped cosmetology lab introducing older youth to business management, tool safety, and the foundational techniques of hair styling and barbering.
