Libraries often struggle to engage emerging adults (ages 16-26) in ways that meaningfully support their career and life decision-making, identity exploration, changing relationships and the search for autonomy. Centre Future, a program of the El Paso Public Library, blends mentorship, technology, and community in ways that traditional classrooms and job centers often cannot. Centre Future tailors services to emerging adults who are re-skilling, upskilling, and finding their footing.  Learn how Centre Future’s youth fellows created this meaningful space and continue to revise as they grow. Take away new ideas for how libraries can position themselves as an important part of emerging adults’ lives.
