Youth Resource Center
In the late 1990s, the City of Ashburn saw a need for a center dedicated to youth development. With the support of established programs around the county, the City of Ashburn was able to obtain a $500,000 Community Development Block Grant in 2000 to build a center that could accommodate such programs. Since its completion, the City Youth Resource Center has given many of these programs a home which is easily accessable to the children who participate in these organizations. The City Youth Resource Center is also a home to a police substation, which shows the City's dedication to community based police departments.
