Teens house dance at UTEC. Teens unlearn stereotypes and prejudices at UTEC. Some seek help finding a job. Others come looking for a lawyer. Many come looking for a staff to talk to about the events of their day. Teens involved in our Leadership Team prepare budgets and bylaws and then move on to planning for their meeting with the Mayor. Those involved in Young Women's Activism research new stories for their youth-led, social change magazine. A young man in our organizing group talks about ways to increase the number of summer jobs in the city. Another young women came in for advice about her abusive boyfriend. Teens cry at UTEC. Teens argue at UTEC. Some come to "squash" fights at UTEC. Young people feel safe at UTEC. And on a regular basis, teens surprise outside adults with their maturity and commitment to UTEC. Ultimately, young people come to UTEC to help build a stronger community, both in and out of their center.

Check out recent NECN coverage of UTEC's Voices For Change event in response to all 14 homicides this past year.
