Teens of all ages and backgrounds need a community where they can develop healthy relationships, and hang out with other teens who want to make a positive impact in their world. TLC is a bi-monthly gathering where teens can meet up with one another; discuss relevant issues, plan social outings (Teen Night Out!), service projects and community leadership events.

TLC is a great place to make new friends. There are several events every month, planned by teens that take place on weekends too!

JR. High TLC: 7th & 8th grade (meets 1st and 3rd Tuesday of each month)
SR. High TLC: 9th - 12th grade (meets 2nd and 4th Tuesday of each month)
6:30 p.m. - 8:00 p.m.
Cooper Street Branch, Central Branch

**Please bring it with you to your first event!**
