TEEN LEADERS CLUB is where teens ages 12-18 can connect, have fun, and make a difference!

The J. Douglas Williams YMCA is inviting local teens ages 12–18 to get involved, make connections, and make a difference through its Teen Leaders Club.

Designed to give teens a place to connect, have fun, and develop leadership skills, Teen Leaders Club provides opportunities for young people to participate in community service, volunteer activities, guest speaker sessions, games, leadership activities, and more.

Teens can also participate in volunteer and community service opportunities that allow them to earn school service hours while gaining valuable experiences and giving back to their community.

“We want teens to know that their voices, ideas, and contributions matter,” said Brooke Brownell, Teen Coordinator at the J. Douglas Williams YMCA. “Teen Leaders Club gives them a place where they can build friendships, develop leadership skills, serve their community, and have fun while doing it. We want our teens to feel empowered to get involved and know that they can make a difference.”

The J. Douglas Williams YMCA is also excited to partner with SWAT (Students Working Against Tobacco), giving teens another opportunity to become involved in their community and make their voices heard.

Teen Leaders Club is open to teens ages 12–18 and meets every Monday from 6–7:30 p.m. at the J. Douglas Williams YMCA.
