New Teen Center!
Ages 13-18
The Barbara Harper Clubhouse will now be Barbara Harper Teen Center. The Clubhouse will be serving youth from middle school to high school.
The Harper Teen and Community Resource Center provides a safe, teen-specific space for our young adults to interact with each other in an age appropriate environment. It offers members ages 13-18 a safe, fun environment where teens can be themselves without feeling the pressure of being judged. They have opportunities to lounge and mingle in the games room, receive homework help during Power Hour, participate in teen centered workshops for college prep, receive ongoing mentoring, workforce preparation, and much more! Not only do the teens build friendships, memories, and have fun, the great staff also builds strong, supportive connections with the teens.
