Teen Center
The Belchertown Teen Center opened its doors in September of 1999 to rave reviews. Daily the center is used by many teens and pre-teens who are in the 5th-12th grade. We provide a safe, drug free environment in which teens can play pool, ping pong, basketball, volleyball, soccer, air hockey, watch a movie, play guitar hero/kinect, get help with their school work, etc. and have a snack. The Teen Center focuses on providing enriching activities to teens and pre-teens along with social skills within a positive growth-oriented environment. We hope that the teens that use the facility will be positively affected by their experiences at the Center.
Bus #5 will take students from CHCS to the Teen Center. We are located directly behind the Police Station. Volunteers are always welcome.
