“When I looked at the Rec Hall, I saw how this space could serve an underserved population of our community—the local teens,” said Joe Petersen, recreation and camp manager for Hanna Center. “We transformed the underutilized space into a fun and safe hub for Sonoma teens to call their own and connect by having fun.”
Finding My Way: How Hanna Center Changed My Life
Looking back on my life and how things could have turned out very differently, it’s hard to believe how far I’ve come. Today, I am a 29-year-old combat engineer and drill sergeant in the U.S. Army. My journey hasn’t been easy, but I owe much of my success to a place that gave me a second chance when I needed it most: Hanna Center.
