Many high school girls call YWCA New Britain's House of Teens (H.O.T) their “home away from home.” At the H.O.T., we offer teens a comfortable, safe, and positive place to call their own.  H.O.T. is an afterschool program designed for high school girls ages 13 to 19 that offers teens a variety of activities focused on enhancing healthy life styles.  The program is dedicated to helping teen girls accomplish their personal goals and gain the confidence and independence they need be future leaders.
