Boys & Girls Clubs of Metro Louisiana will host the grand opening of the Chevron Teen Center in Covington on Thursday, May 12th.
The event will happen at 4 pm at 706 West 28 Avenue.
The new Teen Center, funded by a $50,000 Chevron donation and designed by the Club teens, offers a safe space for young adults to develop a love of learning and leadership in the Club and in the community.
Research indicates that teens thrive in spaces structured around responsibility, belonging and leadership modeling.
Located in the Boys & Girls Club of Covington in the Harrison Curriculum Center, this dedicated space will allow for positive interactions with peers.
The Teen Center expansion is designed to help young people meet new friends and take advantage of informal mentorships with adults in their areas of interest.
The Club’s mission is to enable all young people, especially those who need it most, to reach their full potential as productive, caring, responsible citizens.
