Many high school girls call YWCA New Britain's House of Teens their “home away from home.” At the House of Teens, we offer teens a comfortable, safe, and positive place to call their own.  It is an afterschool program designed for high school girls ages 13 to 19 that offers teens a variety of activities focused on enhancing healthy lifestyles.  The program is dedicated to helping teen girls accomplish their personal goals and gain the confidence and independence they need to be future leaders.

The House of Teens operates out of our East Side Community Center, and is open Monday - Friday from 2:30 to 6:00 p.m. and Saturday 9:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m.
