Inclusive - The Teen Center is inclusive, inspiring all teens to make worthwhile contributions at the Club, through Club Service and Club engagement, and feel valued for it.

We exemplify this in good character and citizenship opportunities, such as engaging in community and Club service projects, modeling strong character.
