TEEN Supreme Keystone Club
An outreach of the Boys & Girls Clubs of America, The Keystone Club ranges in age from 13 to 18 year old teens. The Keystoners learn about leadership and government by planning community festivals, dances and special events. Several times a year they attend national and regional conferences around the country.

Teen Lounge
The lounge is a great atmosphere for teens to relax and be themselves. Watch movies, play pool, foose ball or ping pong, listen to your music and take advantage of our indoor pool, basketball court and fitness gym.

Guitar Lessons
You don't have to own a guitar or know a thing about the instrument to learn how to play your favorite songs. Our Youth Development Team will teach you the basics or add to your current skills.

Smart Girls
Discuss relationships, health, fitness and whatever else is on your mind with other girls ages 13 to 15. Smart Girls brings teens together to get guidance from Youth Development Team members Roberta Garrison and Martha Grace. Figure out how to positively change your life and your world.

Our partnership with numerous public and private agencies across the city and region is your gateway to finding the answers to tough questions. Legal aid, financial advice, housing and shelter needs, food and health concerns are all just a phone call away.

Support Counseling
Sometimes you need more than just a phone number or a push in the right direction. Sometimes you need someone willing to take that extra step and go with you.
