Salem-area community center will help young people learn music, screenprinting and business skills

When Becka Brisbin and Joe Kyle walked into the empty storefront on Northeast River Road in Keizer, their faces lit up. 

 “I’m so happy to be in here right now,” Kyle said to a smiling Brisbin.

Surveying a barren desk, green walls and rows of empty metal and plywood shelves, they saw its potential. The mostly empty room could be an oasis of career training, mental health support and community building for Salem-area youth and families.
