You can make a difference! Consider donating to the Augusta Teen Center teens. The Augusta Teen Center is a community organization based in Augusta, Maine. We inspire youth to reach their full potential and become active members of their community. Donations to the teen center help provide programs that are aimed at capturing teen interests while teaching valuable life and career skills. This enables us to help our teens grow, learn, and achieve because people just like you believe in them. • After School Program A safe place with caring adults who offer educational experiences & activities. • Outside The Box Nutrition We feed 30-35 young people at the end of each day while teaching them valuable nutrition, career, and life skills. • St. Patrick's Day Fundraiser We bring youth, community, and families together to celebrate our young people. • Alternative to Suspension (A2S) Teens suspended from school. We provide supports to reconnect them to school and education. • Supporting our teens during the Holiday Season The Holiday season is tough for many of our teens. Being able to provide needed gifts to our teens goes a long way towards connecting with teens and their families. • SaferDrivers Program Using virtual reality, we can help teenagers practice in dangerous driving conditions without danger. This includes helping teens practice driving at night, on wet roads, and in other dangerous driving conditions without harming them. • Summer Program With less structure in the summer, this often means more "getting into trouble". Our programs engage youth in new experiences to help them grow. • Roads to Success Our Restorative programs work with the teens that need it most, before they offend and become part of the court system. With the current costs of youth incarceration ($200,000/offender annually), area juvenile arrests (166) represent a potential cost to taxpayers in this area of over $33,000,000, this is a great benefit to the teens as they work towards a future for themselves and the communities in which they live. Every teen deserves a Champion, an adult who will never give up on them, someone who believes in them, empowers them, and inspires them to be the best they can possibly be. Be the person you needed when you were younger! Boysandgirlsclubofaugustamaine.com Phone: 207-622-0452 Info@agustateencenter.org
