The Teen Center is a low-cost after school resource for middle and high school students (grade 6+).

Staff are available to help foster positive relationships, supervise, and play with participants. The Teen Center has a wide variety of programs surrounding its mission to provide young teens with the opportunity to be independent, hang out with friends, and belong to a community focused solely on them.
