The V2 Underground is a teen “makerspace” that integrates an established prevention curriculum with STEaM for youth ages 11-17. It aims to increase youth’s capacity to navigate the global community with 21st century skills. V2 Underground helps youth to bridge the gap of the digital divide via hands-on experiences. Located in Dawson County, Georgia, our program is one of only three prevention clubhouses funded by DBHDD in the state.
