PHOENIX — Goodyear saw the opening of Alice Cooper’s Solid Rock, a nonprofit teen center organized by the locally-based rockstar, at a celebration on April 26.
The nonprofit focuses its efforts on young people aged between 12 and 20 years old and how they can grow through music, dance and art.
“Teens need a safe space to spend their time, and we are so excited to have our third teen center in Glendale,” Alice Cooper said in an announcement. “When I was a teen, I needed an outlet to be creative and become the Alice Cooper character.
“Now, teens in Goodyear can discover their talents in dance, music and art. It’s limitless to where they can go in life.”
What does Alice Cooper’s Solid Rock center offer to teens?
Teens will find free vocational training in sound and recording, lighting and staging as well as video production. They don’t need to register ahead of time.
The rocker believes the centers are a good combatant to the old adage: “a teen’s worst enemy is too much time on their hands.”
Adults looking to get involved can volunteer for support.
“It’s a place where young people can discover their passion, express themselves creatively and find a positive path forward,” said Goodyear Mayor Joe Pizzillo.
The Goodyear location is on Van Buren Street between Litchfield Road and Bullard Avenue. The other two are in Phoenix and Mesa.
