The CanTeen is an opportunity to invest in the future of our communities.
That’s because every teen deserves emotional and educational support from adults who care and that’s what The CanTeen provides to middle and high school youth.
The CanTeen is common ground for any eighth through 12th grader regardless of social or economic status. It’s a place to learn and grow alongside their peers. Our youth-led center is a place to drop in after school for food and fellowship, but it’s much more than fun and games.
We Need Your Support
We offer presentations that address alcohol, drugs and relationships as well as college planning, resume building and other life skills. Our volunteer mentors are always available to listen and offer advice to our teens. We also connect teens with community service opportunities where they can make a difference.
Basically, we help teens make good choices. Essentially, the more participants who take advantage of our services, the fewer teens are being tempted to make bad decisions. Together, we give them the resources to succeed.
