Grow Arizona looks to open Bijou Teen Center in October 2025 with support from Wellpoint

Thanks to funding from Wellpoint and the efforts of United Way of Northern Arizona, Grow Arizona's Bijou (pronounced bee zhoo) Teen Center will be opening in October in Holbrook, Arizona. The site is an existing commercial space that is being completely remodeled by Arizona State Contracting, LLC, to serve the youth of Navajo County. The center will provide a space for teens to come together, build friendships, explore interests, have supports and learn new skills. It will include an art room, music room, tech space, commercial kitchen and a retail space for local artisans to display and sell their art. We will host speakers, events and industry leaders to provide education on jobs in the area, as well as health and wellness. We are extremely excited to bring this opportunity to the youth in the region and welcome any financial support to ensure it's sustainability.
