Our Story
The Civic Center building, originally constructed as a high school in 1911, has been a cornerstone of the Watervliet community since 1946. Recognizing the need for a dedicated space for youth, the Watervliet Rotary Club and a group of civic-minded citizens transformed this historic building into a vibrant youth center. Over the past 75 years, the Civic Center has evolved, serving more than 800 youth, young adults, and adults annually through various programs and activities.
