The Boys and Girls Club of St. Joseph County is putting together safe, fun places for teens to hang out on Friday nights.

They’re collaborating with Connect 2 Be The Change to host Community Gym Nights on Fridays.

The first Open Gym will be on October 13 at the OC Carmichael Jr. Youth Center in South Bend from 7 to 9:30 p.m.

It’s a safe, engaged space for those ages 13 to 24 years.

Organizers say the gym at the center was recently renovated and that they are excited to find new ways to use the gym for the community.
