The mission of the Jefferson Teen Center

is to provide Tri-Area youth with the opportunity to be free, creative and accepting of themselves and others.  

All middle- and high-school students most welcome!

JTC provides

after-school services and a daily, healthy nutrition program to youth here in this rural corner of the Olympic Peninsula, where families are isolated economically as well as geographically. Our facility offers a safe, structured environment for many children every day. We offer a quiet place to do homework with the help of professional staff and volunteers, as well as games, computers and arts and crafts.

JTC daily services and activities

include referral services, recreational, reading and art project opportunities. Special events have included movie nights, excursions and concerts. Teen Resource Center programming includes visits by staff from the Chimacum Prevention Coalition and the Jefferson County Health Department. Close contact is maintained with Chimacum School District by drop-in visits from counselors and staff.
