NFL brings youth center to Honolulu

The NFL and Boys & Girls Clubs of Hawaii broke ground Thursday in Nanakuli for a new youth center.
The NFL's Youth Education Town initiative constructs educational and recreational centers for children in at-risk neighborhoods in Super Bowl host cities. Honolulu was chosen for its ties to the Pro Bowl, which takes place Sunday at Aloha Stadium.
The 10,000-square-foot center is expected to open in 2009 and will be managed by the Boys & Girls Clubs of Hawaii, which helps more than 17,500 kids ages 7 to 17 on Oahu and Kauai. It will include an outdoor amphitheater, Native Hawaiian garden, arts and crafts center, technology center and multimedia studio, teen center, community room and a learning center.
The facility will be the first LEED-certified after-school facility in the Youth Education Town network.
The center received a $1 million donation from the NFL and will be funded through private and public contributions from the state, city and corporations.
The NFL and Boys & Girls Clubs of America have 14 Youth Education Towns in 11 Super Bowl cities.
