Programs and activities at the teen center are designed to enhance self-esteem and help young people make appropriate and satisfying choices in their physical, educational, personal, social , emotional, vocational and spiritual lives.

We believe youth are community resource to be cared for, not squandered. Our trained professional staff provide positive adult mentors and role models.  Nationally recognized programs help young people succeed in school, stay healthy, learn important life skills, pursue interests in the hearts and sports, and explore vocational and career choices.

The teen center provides a place for young people to participate in the life of the community and develop a sense of belonging while growing into responsible adults.

Take Time for Teens

One of the most important questions to ask a young person is, “How can I help you?”

The answer is often quite simple, and we as adults need to be ready to respond.
