The Portage County location is our first location, housing the entire program and administrative offices in 6,000 sq. ft. of usable space. We have a large area in the back utilized as a multi-purpose gym, with a small basketball court and hoop for shooting around, along with an area for singing or karaoke, and even some bikes that can be ridden indoors when the weather isn't cooperating.
With a bus stop for the Stevens Point Transit conveniently located right outside the building, we are allowed to work with members on how to use the city bus. Members also get to enjoy area attractions such as the University of Wisconsin - Stevens Point, the Portage County Public Library, the numerous parks in the community, and more.
We also have in the programming a volunteer opportunity, maintaining a regular route with Meals on Wheels in Portage County. This allows the members to participate in the community and assist a population unable to get out for balanced meals.
Some other key features include:
Our Wood County location of 4U is located on Pepper Ave in Wisconsin Rapids, WI. We are centrally located, easily accessible, and able to enjoy all that the city of Wisconsin Rapids has to offer!
We expanded to Wisconsin Rapids in May of 2011 and haven't looked back! We have enjoyed continued growth in numbers as we've continued to fill this new space.
The program in Wood County is much like our Portage County location. Our staff uses all that is available to the community in Wisconsin Rapids such as the YMCA, volunteering at the Humane Society, and being able to visit many different attractions offered to the community such as the zoo, the parks, the river, and some of the area businesses.
