“I am excited to see this partnership between the Amherst Youth Foundation and Independent Health. This building will benefit many of our youth and young adults and provide many different programs with no increase in cost to Amherst residents.”

“I’m proud to be associated with this project, which is an outstanding example of creative reuse of an existing facility in our community,” said Assemblyman Jim Hayes, (R-Amherst). “A building that once served the Town of Amherst as headquarters of a volunteer fire company has been transformed into a Center that provides recreational and educational services for our young people. The new Independent Health Youth and Family Center was made possible because the Amherst Youth Foundation put together a strong plan that attracted significant grants and private-sector funding. This success story should inspire government officials at every level to find similar ways of providing high-quality services at the lowest possible cost.”

“The Amherst Youth Foundation plays a vital role in our community,” said State Senator Mary Lou Rath. “Its new Independent Health Youth and Family Center is a wonderful example of the Foundation’s ability to effectively bring local government and private industry together for the benefit of our children. I applaud all the dedicated Foundation volunteers who give of their time and talent.”
