Do you have a tween or teenager that just won't get off the computer? Bring them to one of the teen/youth centers to have some creative fun!



NORTH ANDOVER

Youth Center Memberships 

Memberships are for middle school & high students (NA residents) who want to come to the Youth Center and take advantage of the facilities, including the gymnasium, computer room, lounge, street hockey rink, rock wall, acres of outdoor space, and the weight room (weight room is for ages 13+)! Members can attend the Youth Center Mondays-Fridays between 2:30-5:30pm (and between 1:45-5:30pm on early release Wednesdays!) Members can drop in anytime in our open hours after school, participate in drop-in activities and hang out with friends, and also can sign up for seasonal programs and field trips. Your child can attend the Youth Center once without a membership to try it out, but then they must get a membership to continue attending!

 

It is $125 for the membership for the 2022-2023 school year! Please contact Demi at dmarsh@nayouth.com if you are in need of financial assistance.

The drop-in membership has been pro-rated to $60!

HAVERHILL

Youth Empower House

This summer, we’ll be out of the building most of the time taking kids on both fun and educational field trips three days a week.

In addition to going to local parks and beaches, we’ll also be visiting places like the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum, the Freedom Trail, and to an interactive reenactment of the Salem Witch Trials, plus so many more!

When we’re in the building, we’ll be kept busy with meeting weekly reading goals, designing and building various engineering projects, and putting on our first ever Shakespearean play! Of course, there’ll be plenty of swimming and fun in the water, plus lots of time outdoors doing team and individual sports.

We have separate pages for each of our seasonal programs!
