LOCAL Closer Look: Rocketown - Nashville, Tenn.

Posted on Sunday, March 9, 2025 by Jim Davis

Jim Davis talks with Kenny Alonzo, Executive Director at Rocketown in Nashville. The organization serves Nashville area teens by providing a safe environment where they can come after school and participate in various activities. Alonzo says the organization was founded by Christian musician Michael W. Smith as a place for teens to gather and connect instead of roaming the streets. Activities include a skate park, a recording studio, and an E Sports room. All activities are led by trained employees who work to create relationship and trust with the teens.
