Teen Center 2010-2011 Afterschool Program Starts

Programs for Youth Ages 11-15

There has been a lot of great work done this summer to build a bigger and better Teen Center.  You can find us at our new location, 1331 Portland Ave in Memorial Park!

The newly renovated Teen Center is a facility that features ample space, computers, Wi-Fi, a 1,500 square foot game room complete with pool table, ping pong, foosball, assorted video games, karaoke and a 52" HDTV. We also have basketball and tennis courts, an organic garden, multi-media classroom, offices, playground, picnic area and a full kitchen.

Programs include a variety of recreational classes, after-school programs, educational workshops, excursions, homework tutoring, community service opportunities, drop-in recreation, dances and live concerts, as well as lots of other great special events.

Feel free to stop by and visit our beautiful new facility, meet the staff, and check out our program offerings. We are here to serve.

The after-school program is open until 6 pm Monday through Friday and on most school holidays. Teen Center staff accompanies members on the short walk from Albany Middle School to the Teen Center. Van pick-up is provided on rainy days. Holiday programs, non-school days and field trips may be scheduled for an additional fee.

The Albany Teen Center is a GREAT place to meet with friends and a fun, affordable and safe environment for all.
