Big Ideas,
Real Impact.


Casper Youth Hub is a nonprofit dedicated to giving Natrona County teens a true "third space". Somewhere outside of home and school to explore, create, and grow. We offer hands-on programming in technology, digital arts, maker skills, entrepreneurship, and more, all designed and shaped with youth voice at the center. Whether you're looking to learn new skills, find mentorship, or simply belong somewhere, Casper Youth Hub is building a community where every young person in Casper can thrive.

A youth-only third space in downtown Casper, now growing from our home at Atrium Plaza.

A free, youth-designed space where young people can make things, find mentors, build real skills, and develop practical mental health strategies without it feeling like therapy. No judgment. Just possibilities.

Join The Movement

Our Mission

Foster curiosity, confidence, belonging, and community among Casper youth through maker culture, mentorship, and mental‑health‑aligned programming.

What We're Building at Atrium Plaza

Casper Youth Hub is growing inside Atrium Plaza at 201 East 2nd Street, Unit B11. The Hub is being built as a youth-centered place for connection, creativity, skill-building, and support.

  • Lounge: a welcoming first stop for belonging, decompression, games, and conversation

  • Gaming Room: a low-barrier way for youth to connect and build community

  • Art Studio: traditional art, digital design, sewing, embroidery, and mixed media

  • Maker Space: 3D printing, laser engraving, CNC, soldering, robotics, and hands-on projects

  • Kitchen: food access, cooking programs, and community-building around meals

  • Production Studio: video, audio, content creation, and storytelling as equipment and funding allow

*Every room is designed around the Neutral Space Charter, with trauma-informed practice, sensory support, and space to decompress.

Programs That Build Real Skills:

From maker projects and digital media to cooking, strategy, gaming, design, and youth-led research, Casper Youth Hub programs help young people create real work they can be proud of:

  • Youth Participatory Action Research Fellowship: paid youth fellows research what their peers need, then help design and pilot Hub programs

  • Maker Space and Hands-On Skills: 3D printing, robotics, hardware, art, repair, and practical building projects

  • Art, Design, and Creative Projects: traditional art, digital design, sewing, embroidery, room design, and mixed media

  • Gaming and Strategy: low-pressure connection through games, tournaments, chess, teamwork, and leadership

  • Kitchen and Food Programs: cooking, food access, shared meals, and community-building

  • Media and Storytelling: video, audio, content creation, and portfolio-building as equipment becomes available

  • Mentorship and Life Skills: trusted adults, practical guidance, and everyday mental health skills woven into activities

Wyoming's first comprehensive youth-only third space, where young people build real skills, find mentorship, and develop practical mental health strategies through maker culture, creative arts, and entrepreneurship.

  • Youth-Centered Design

  • Trauma-Informed Spaces  

  • 100% Free Programs

  • Mental Health Skills Built Into Everyday Activities

Support Youth

Why Casper Needs a Third Space

Too many young people finish the school day without a place that truly feels like theirs. Casper Youth Hub gives youth a safe, free, and creative place to belong, build skills, connect with mentors, and shape what comes next for themselves and their community.

  • Not school

  • Not home

  • A youth-centered third space where young people are known, welcomed, and supported

What Families and Funders Can Count On

  • We serve Casper and Natrona County youth with dignity, belonging, and inclusion at the center.

  • We use clear supervision standards, background checks, safety procedures, and parent or guardian consent systems.

  • All programs are free for participating youth.

  • The Hub uses trauma-informed practices and the Neutral Space Charter.

  • Youth never have to justify needing space to decompress or ask for support.

What Are Teens Excited For?

Our YPAR Team

Youth Participatory Action Research Fellowship (YPAR) puts young people in charge of building the Hub — not as volunteers, but as paid fellows.

Fellows work alongside Executive Director Seth Hollier and Programs & ADA Director Turner Logan to research what Casper youth actually need, then design and pilot the programs that fill those gaps. Every program at the Hub exists because a young person identified it, studied it, and made the case for it.

Fellows earn a stipend, build real professional skills, and walk away with a portfolio of work that changed something in their community.

This is what it looks like when adults trust youth.

Our Directors

Seth Hollier

Seth Hollier founded the Casper Youth Hub with a simple conviction: every teen deserves somewhere safe to go, something meaningful to do, and someone who's glad they showed up. What started as an idea in 2025 has grown into Wyoming's first comprehensive youth third space. A place where young people build real skills, find mentorship, and develop practical mental health strategies through maker culture, creative arts, and entrepreneurship. His approach is rooted in a core belief: listen to youth instead of assuming you know what they need. Every program at the Hub is co-designed with young people, and mental health support is woven into everything — not as a separate curriculum, but embedded into the work itself.

"It is my mission to show this community that when you empower youth and pair them with the right mentors, they can create something that is additive to the community."*
Executive Director

Turner Logan

Turner Logan leads programming and accessibility at the Casper Youth Hub. As Programs Director, he co-coordinates the Youth Participatory Action Research (YPAR) fellowship — a paid program where young people research, design, and pilot the very programs the Hub offers. He works directly with youth fellows, supporting research, facilitating meetings, and keeping families connected to the process.

As ADA Coordinator, Turner ensures that the Hub is genuinely accessible to every young person who walks through the door. He oversees accommodations for disabilities, cultural and religious practices, language access, learning differences, and trauma-related needs — making sure that "welcoming to all" is a practice, not just a slogan.
