Teens do more than paint. Every Thursday, Teens hang out while getting crafty. Some of the activities include beading, gimp, collaging, coloring, pastel sketching, painting, sewing, creative writing. Occasionally, teens enjoy special activities with community partners, as well as Teen Talk-Backs where teens share what's on their minds.
