Why "The Rec: Commons?"

Mentoring
We believe strongly in facilitating connections for people to achieve personal growth and development, and social and economic opportunities.
History
The REC started as a project by Valor Mentoring to create safe spaces for recreation. The first location, The REC: Lanes, bolstered an beloved Keizer bowling alley into a new and improved bowling alley with opportunities for more community gatherings. The REC then transformed an iconic grange hall into The REC: Grange, a coffee shop that hosts many youth programs right next to McNary. Now the REC has seen the needs of East Salem’s youth and is serving everyone by providing coffee and community.
