To inspire REAL Hope for all youth to become caring, productive, and responsible citizens of good character.
Our heart is for the care and strong character development of our children.
Our vision is to someday provide a full-service youth center for the young people of Paris and Henry County. We will grow into this vision. We have real hope that you will come along.
It is taking place on Saturday, April 26th at the court square in Downtown Paris. The cost to enter a fish is $25. Registration Forms are available at World’s Biggest Fish Fry Headquarters at 711 E.

Our goal is to build a full-service youth center in Paris, TN dedicated to providing a fun, engaging, and safe environment for our youth. We're providing these pop-ups as a way to engage 12-18 year olds and find out more about what our teens would like to experience when they come to a youth center. We need your help to make us a good time! Come hang out and give us your opinion. Most pop-ups will be at 2200 India Rd., but some will be held at other sites - we'll update our calendar accordingly.
