Supporting teens with programs that inspire success in high school and beyond.

Since then, services have expanded to include multiple after school teen center sites, in school programming and EDGE@Work, a volunteerism to career readiness experience where EVERY TEEN is selected to gain experience.

Refer A Teen
If you know a teen who could benefit from a safe, positive, and welcoming space but are unsure which experience is the right fit, you’re in the right place.
Who Can Refer A Teen?
Anyone who cares about a teen’s well-being: Parents, guardians, teachers, counselors, social workers, coaches, neighbors, and more.
If a teen could use connection, support, or a positive place to be—your referral matters.
