Sponsor Teens, Strengthen Futures
The Jefferson Teen Center has been the only dedicated teen space in the Tri-Area for 34 years, providing a vital environment where young people can decompress, build connections, and access resources.
This is the first year we're offering logo placement on Teen Center swag and official sponsor yard signs, created in response to last year's state and national funding cuts that resulted in a loss of $44,000.
When resources disappear, community steps up. Sponsor the Teen Center and help keep stability and connection alive for rural teens.
200 teens served in 2026
