According to EURweb.com, producer Pharrell Williams will build a youth center in his hometown of Virginia. The objective of the youth center is to provide young people with an outlet for their creativity. The Pharrell Williams Youth Center is expected to be opened in 2012.

According to Pharrell “I wanted to provide people with the same opportunities I got. My teachers didn’t let me go until I had realized my potential. They taught me to fight my way out of a paper bag. “Children need guidance and creative discipline and someone to be there when they fall. They also need a safe haven. At the moment, arts organizations across the U.S. are having their funding cut and we can’t let that happen. There’s so little regard for creative skills. Where would we be without design? This is just a prototype. If all goes well, we will look at setting it up in other cities across the U.S. as well, such as Miami.”
