Teen Programming
We offer a variety of programs and resources for our community’s teens! We provide a space for people to hang out and study, play games, and get to know each other better!

Join us Wednesday afternoons for Teen Empowerment! We provide activities and learning opportunities for teens after school, including crafts, games, and volunteering activities.

On Friday afternoons, we open our meeting rooms as a place to hang out and play games, including Dungeons and Dragons and chess, as well as the many board and card games available for checkout. Snacks are also provided.
