Emeryville Teen Center

The ETC

Vision and Mission: The Emeryville Teen Center is an oasis where teens can socialize in a safe space and engage in a variety of positive activities, all under the guidance of dedicated adult mentors. Every teen deserves a space where they can go to be themselves, create connection, push out of their comfort zone, and learn new things. We are dedicated to being that space and hope teens have an enriching time with us, during every visit.
