GLENDALE -- Congressman Adam Schiff (D-Glendale) is requesting nearly

$90,000 in federal funding to help pay for programs to be offered by the

Glendale YMCA’s proposed teen center.

Schiff is asking the House Appropriations Committee for $89,690 to

provide tutoring, mentoring, computer labs and a homework club for Your

House, the YMCA’s proposed after-schoolcommunity teen center.

The center is expected to open in September at 140 N. Louise St., and

will offer tutoring assistance six days a week for teens who are referred

by local agencies or schools.

The center’s start-up funding will support direct services to more

than 600 teens.
