An After School Program for Girls and Nonbinary Youth

HOUSE OF TEENS

Many high school students 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 female identifying and non-binary youth ages 13 to 19 that offers teens a variety of activities focused on enhancing healthy lifestyles.  The program is dedicated to helping teens accomplish their personal goals and gain the confidence and independence they need to be future leaders.
