The Center - CREATE Teen Programs

CREATE is an interactive peer leadership program designed for teens aged 14-19, focusing on self-expression, leadership development, and overall well-being.

The program empowers teens to address important issues affecting their lives, including ATOD (alcohol, tobacco, and other drugs) prevention, violence prevention, sexual health education, and mental health awareness.

Through engaging activities, creative outlets, and skill-building workshops, participants develop leadership skills, foster meaningful connections, and gain tools to make positive choices.

CREATE provides a safe, inclusive space for teens to grow, learn, and express themselves while building skills that will support their futures.
