The Teen Center
The objective of the teen center is to provide a safe, secure, drug free, supportive, healthy and fun environment for the teens to spend their free time. Outside of the home we want the teens to consider the center their second home. We want our teens to be able to come to TC whether during good or bad times and are able call it HOME.

Teen center meets Monday thru Thursday** from 3pm to 5pm** with additional evening activities and Fridays from 3pm- until** for teen nite. TC's* program is drop-in Monday thru Thursday.
