Empowering our youth by investing in the future, the Aviano 2000 Program made a commitment to excellence in youth services by opening a new 31,000 square foot, state-of-the-art facility in October 2005.

The new center is in a very close proximity to the new DoDDs school and better serves our youths by making access to after school programs a mere walk across the parking lot.

Programs now available for youth ages 6-18 include a variety of camps including computer camp, science camp, sports camps, children’s theatre, various talent competitions, instructional classes including ballet, jazz, tap, creative movement, karate, cheerleading, gymnastic, fashion and talent shows, numerous field trips to fun and historical sites, and the YES (Youth Employment Skills) program.
