Founded in 2007, the Avantgarde Growth and Creation Center (Avantgarde center) in Atlit was the first Avantgarde Center to be established (Two more Avantgarde Youth Centers have been established since. One in Zichron Yaacov and the other in Moshave Ztrufa). The center is open every weekday from 18:00 to 22:00 and hosts tens of adolescents every evening whom enjoy the workshops, non formal interaction with others in the coffee shop area and a listening figure (the Center’s manager, Avantgarde manager, an adult volunteer or an instructor). The Avantgarde center in Atlit is based in a former school building that has been renovated to adjust so the Avantgarde concept and needs. The first floor has an entrance hall with 4 classrooms which function as workshop classes and a small concert/events hall where special yearly events and Avantgarde youth shows take place. The second floor has a professional music room, more workshop classes, office and a Coffee Shop area which is the heart of the center. This is where youth interact with each other and with volunteers or staff on a non formal basis. Coffee, tea, coco and cookies are available free of charge.
