The Rupert I Maynard Youth Community Center is the brain child of the youth organizations of St. Maarten. Conceived in the early 1990’s, the project took over ten years to be realized. Phase I was funded by the Fund for Social Development and Economic Activities, with the furnishings funded by Stichting Katholieke Noden.
Phase I included six office spaces, a conference room, member center, a twenty bed youth hostel and an auditorium with kitchen and shower facilities.
Phase II included the finishing work on a second story multi-purpose hall with an adjacent meeting/classroom and an extension of the member center. Phase II was financed by the Samenwerkende Fondsen, specifically Stichting Katholieke Noden and the Oranjefonds.
