Essex Teen Center provides drop in hours and activities created for teens by teens.
All activities are supervised by staff and adult volunteers. We are a member of the Vermont Coalition of Teen Centers.
Youth advisory boards guide teen center initiatives. Drop In Program The Drop In Program provides activities weekdays after school. Youth enjoy the recreational and computer facilities in our six-room teen center located on the second floor of 2 Lincoln Street in Essex Junction. Basic attendance is free. Occasionally offsite activities are organized for which a small fee may apply. Scholarships are available for any youth who cannot afford a fee. Students must register once per year with parent permission. See our Forms and Downloads section below to download our Adobe Acrobat PDF form. Can't download a PDF file?
