Teen center
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A teen center is a community center serving adolescents in a community.[1][2] It may provide services for at-risk teens, help to meet their health needs,[3][4] serve to discourage anti-social behavior, and help teens to find employment.[5]
The purposes of a teen center[6] are:
- explore their interests and talents in a self-directed manner;
- access support and mentorship in such vital things as leadership skills, communication skills, well-being, careers advice;
- and, crucially, get support in writing university, scholarship and job applications to secure future success and fulfilment.
An example of a teen center implementing in Laos is the Wellspring Teen Centre Vientiane.
