Teen Zone
Teen Zone is a free program for members that is a youth-directed program that helps teens prepare for adulthood. The Teen Zone program is catered to those 13-18-years of age and promotes healthy lifestyle choices, goal setting, skill development, and connections to others in a safe and supportive way. Qualified staff help youth begin to think about life after school, and participate in various activities with youth their own age, where they learn, discover interests. With staff guidance, youth will be supported while mapping out and achieving future academic and career goals. Join us Tuesday & Thursday evenings from 6:00 to 8:30 pm.
