Brookline Teen Center
About
The Brookline Teen Center is a nonprofit community hub where Brookline teens can hang out, create and find support after school. On a typical day, young people might be recording an album in the music studio, playing basketball, gaming with VR headsets, cooking or getting homework help. The mission is to give all teens a place to explore, create and discover who they are, helping them navigate adolescence safely and leave ready for college and careers.
Founded in 2013, the center served nearly 1,000 young people in a recent year, its largest number yet. It is not part of the town budget and has no endowment, so it depends on donations and events such as the annual Taste of Brookline. Programs span high school, middle school and a Little Learners Lab, plus Beyond the Classroom trips, the BTC Records music program and the Youthscapers youth jobs program.
