The Jensen Ave Teen Centre offers a low barrier to entry programming for youth aged 12-18. This program is designed to promote healthy peer relationships through various activities. The program emphasizes the use of activities to create shared positive experiences amongst the group, allowing participants to create a network of positive connections outside of their regular school or family circles.
Teen Centre uses a variety of activities to promote these positive experiences. Recreational, skill development and cultural awareness activities are used to create these positive relationships. (ex. cooking nights, scavenger hunts, paint nights, beach days).
One of our missions is to create a safe environment where our participants can create positive adult relationships. We must provide guidance, mentorship and a listening ear for all youth, and do what we can to help mitigate their concerns.
