Casper Youth Hub
A Space For Youth - Built By Youth
Join us in building the first third-space for youth in Casper WY.
Casper Youth Hub, an initiative of VOID Outreach Inc., is a Casper-based nonprofit dedicated to giving Natrona County teens a true "third space" — somewhere outside of home and school to explore, create, and grow. We offer hands-on programming in technology, digital arts, maker skills, entrepreneurship, and more, all designed and shaped with youth voice at the center. Whether you're looking to learn new skills, find mentorship, or simply belong somewhere, Casper Youth Hub is building a community where every young person in Casper can thrive.
A youth-only third space in downtown Casper, now growing from our home at Atrium Plaza.
A free, youth-designed space where young people can make things, find mentors, build real skills, and develop practical mental health strategies without it feeling like therapy. No judgment. Just possibilities.
Our Mission
Foster curiosity, confidence, belonging, and community among Casper youth through maker culture, mentorship, and mental‑health‑aligned programming.
What We're Building at Atrium Plaza
Casper Youth Hub is growing inside Atrium Plaza at 201 East 2nd Street, Unit B11. The Hub is being built as a youth-centered place for connection, creativity, skill-building, and support.
Lounge: a welcoming first stop for belonging, decompression, games, and conversation
Gaming Room: a low-barrier way for youth to connect and build community
Art Studio: traditional art, digital design, sewing, embroidery, and mixed media
Maker Space: 3D printing, laser engraving, CNC, soldering, robotics, and hands-on projects
Kitchen: food access, cooking programs, and community-building around meals
Production Studio: video, audio, content creation, and storytelling as equipment and funding allow
*Every room is designed around the Neutral Space Charter, with trauma-informed practice, sensory support, and space to decompress.
Programs That Build Real Skills:
From maker projects and digital media to cooking, strategy, gaming, design, and youth-led research, Casper Youth Hub programs help young people create real work they can be proud of:

Maker Space and Hands-On Skills: 3D printing, robotics, hardware, art, repair, and practical building projects
Art, Design, and Creative Projects: traditional art, digital design, sewing, embroidery, room design, and mixed media

Why Casper Needs a Third Space
Too many young people finish the school day without a place that truly feels like theirs. Casper Youth Hub gives youth a safe, free, and creative place to belong, build skills, connect with mentors, and shape what comes next for themselves and their community.
Not school
Not home
A youth-centered third space where young people are known, welcomed, and supported
Youth Help Build the Hub
Casper Youth Hub is designed with youth, not just for them. Through our Youth Participatory Action Research fellowship, paid youth fellows research what their peers need, help shape programs, and pilot ideas inside the Hub. This is not a suggestion box. Young people are part of building the place they will use.
What Families and Funders Can Count On
We serve Casper and Natrona County youth with dignity, belonging, and inclusion at the center.
We use clear supervision standards, background checks, safety procedures, and parent or guardian consent systems.
All programs are free for participating youth.
The Hub uses trauma-informed practices and the Neutral Space Charter.
Youth never have to justify needing space to decompress or ask for support.
What Are Teens Excited For?
The Story
We started with a simple question: what if young people in Casper had a space that was truly theirs? Not school. Not home. A third space where they could create, connect, decompress, take risks safely, and discover what they are capable of.
That idea has grown into Casper Youth Hub at Atrium Plaza, a youth-designed, mentorship-driven space where young people build real skills, find belonging, and help shape the programs they use.
The Neutral Space Charter
Every room in the Hub operates under our Neutral Space Charter, a trauma-informed support framework that helps more youth participate, stay longer, and come back.
Features:
Staffed quiet rooms for youth who need to decompress
Sensory support kits, including noise-canceling headphones and fidget tools
Trauma-informed practice from staff and volunteers
Gender-affirming use of chosen names and pronouns
Accessibility support for disability, learning, cultural, religious, language, and trauma-related needs
No-questions-asked support when a young person needs help
Our Approach
Youth-Centered Design: Everything we do is designed with youth, not just for them. Our Youth Participatory Action Research fellows are paid to research what their peers need, help design programs, and pilot ideas inside the Hub.
Trauma-Informed Practice: We understand that safety means emotional safety as well as physical safety. Our rooms, routines, and adult support are built around trauma-informed practice and practical mental health skills.
Equity & Access: We remove barriers wherever possible so youth can participate regardless of background, ability, identity, income, or support needs. All programs are free.
Our Team
Seth Hollier
Seth Hollier founded the Casper Youth Hub with a simple conviction: every teen deserves somewhere safe to go, something meaningful to do, and someone who's glad they showed up. What started as an idea in 2025 has grown into Wyoming's first comprehensive youth third space. A place where young people build real skills, find mentorship, and develop practical mental health strategies through maker culture, creative arts, and entrepreneurship.
His approach is rooted in a core belief: listen to youth instead of assuming you know what they need. Every program at the Hub is co-designed with young people, and mental health support is woven into everything — not as a separate curriculum, but embedded into the work itself.
"It is my mission to show this community that when you empower youth and pair them with the right mentors, they can create something that is additive to the community."*Executive Director
Turner Logan
Turner Logan leads programming and accessibility at the Casper Youth Hub. As Programs Director, he co-coordinates the Youth Participatory Action Research (YPAR) fellowship — a paid program where young people research, design, and pilot the very programs the Hub offers. He works directly with youth fellows, supporting research, facilitating meetings, and keeping families connected to the process.
As ADA Coordinator, Turner ensures that the Hub is genuinely accessible to every young person who walks through the door. He oversees accommodations for disabilities, cultural and religious practices, language access, learning differences, and trauma-related needs — making sure that "welcoming to all" is a practice, not just a slogan.Project Director
