A Pottstown nonprofit expects to take a major step forward in spring with the opening of a youth center to boost its education program and other initiatives.
HIP HOP Inc., an organization that has operated in Pottstown since 2013, is renovating a building at 1314 E. High St.
The youth center will include features designed to help reduce the number of local students dropping out of high school.
The group, led by Ralph and Shanita Godbolt, offers after-school academic support with help from volunteers from Montgomery County Community College and the community in general.
