About the Teen Center
The Essex Teen Center provides a safe space for 5th-9th grade students to engage with peers and positive adult role models. Trained CHIPS staff and volunteers are on-site to supervise, organize events and activities, and prepare healthy snacks.
There's lots of fun to be had in the Teen Center! Our space includes foosball, table tennis, arts & crafts, keyboard & guitars, board games, puzzles, computers, age-appropriate video games, educational & STEM activities, and healthy snacks.
The Essex Teen and Tween Center is available at no-cost to 4th-9th grade students who live or learn within the Essex Westford School District. Teen Center is open to students in grades 6th-9th, and Tween Center is open to students in grades 4&5.

In addition to making a difference in our community, teens will enjoy free time in the Teen Center, share snacks, and will gain volunteer hours for their resume!
We will also be offering additional clubs such as True Leaders in Equity, and Dungeons and Dragons in the coming months.
