The Boys & Girls Clubs of Greater Scottsdale has opened its newly renovated and expanded teen center kitchen at the Virginia G. Piper Branch.

The kitchen is now named The Piper Teen Yum Hub powered by loanDepot, according to a press release.

Thanks to the generous contribution from loanDepot through its 2021-22 “Home Means Everything” RBI campaign with Major League Baseball, the boys and girls clubs were able to complete a much-needed renovation and expansion of the teen kitchen space. The previous kitchen, which had remained untouched since its construction in 1991, was in desperate need of modernization.

The renovation project included the demolition of the old kitchen and the creation of a larger, more functional, space to support vital healthy lifestyle programming. Upgrades to The Piper Teen Yum Hub include new flooring, ceiling, drywall, and electrical updates. Additionally, the kitchen features new state-of-the-art appliances and cabinets, providing a contemporary and efficient environment for club teens to engage in cooking and healthy lifestyle programming. This facility will be utilized daily by teens for snack bar sales, culinary activities, and educational initiatives.
