Alive Center NFP

Our mission statement was written by our teens and is the voice which drives the center:

Our Mission is to create Teen-Led, Teen-Driven^TM centers focused on empowering of the youth of today to become the impassioned, resilient leaders of tomorrow. 

The Alive Center empowers teens to be resilient and impassioned through a peer mentoring model. Alive provides teens a unique place to build meaningful connections with their peers and community adults to discover what they are passionate about through free, Teen-Led, Teen-Driven™ programs, activities, and events created by teens, for teens. Our goal is to help teens stop looking for acceptance outside of themselves and instead accept and embrace who they are. We encourage them to focus on their gifts and talents, develop what makes each of them unique, take risks knowing they are supported if they fail, and find that critical purpose in life... What makes them come alive?
