The Youth & Teen Center’s (YTC) Drop-In Program offers a wide variety of educational, enrichment and recreational opportunities that support positive peer interaction, hands-on learning opportunities, decision-making, and development of life skills. These activities not only engage the youth in 6th-12th grade but also allow them to make contributions to the community.
The daily program incorporates an opportunity for participants to work on homework assignments with some assistance from YTC staff, as well as both structured and recreational activities. Structured activities, listed on a monthly calendar, are planned each day. Participation in these activities is encouraged but not required.
Participants will join in at least one enrichment club, clubs that are exclusive to Drop-In Program participants. The choice of enrichment club is left to the participant.
The YTC programs are drop-in, not licensed childcare, and therefore the expectation is that the participants are mature enough to handle a less-structured environment. While we provide a safe and supervised atmosphere, staff work in various rooms and therefore do not provide line-of-sight supervision at all times.
