SAN DIEGO — The new teen center at St. Stephen’s Cathedral is a hub of fun and games for local kids, but for Youth Pastor James Wiley Jr., it represents much more.Wiley Jr. grew up in southeast San Diego and is now raising his two sons in the area. For years, he dreamed of creating a safe environment in the community for kids to play.
Wiley Jr. first began realizing his dream in 2021 with a mobile teen center. He packed a trailer with games and brought it to parks, neighborhoods, and parking lots for anyone to enjoy, including 16-year-old Robby Cruz. On Saturday, Wiley Junior welcomed the community into a more permanent solution: Reel Teens Teen Center inside St. Stephen’s Cathedral. The center offers endless entertainment and features 10 volunteers who serve as advisers and role models for the kids.
Wiley Jr. attributes his success to the church and some good mentors, hoping that the kids at the center will find similar guidance.
