The Launch Pad Teen Center

The mission of The Launch Pad (TLP) is to incite teen con?dence and empowerment through innovative community education and engagement. We are a Youth Driven Space (YDS) that centers youth voice and agency in all aspects of programming and decision making. Youth serve on our Board of Directors, take on leadership roles, and all programs are carefully planned by teens and staff, keeping adolescent brain development, and youth interests and needs in mind. Our core programs include: ? After School Clubs and Programs, run Monday – Friday that are open to middle and high school students ages 12-18. ? Academic Mentoring and Tutoring offers free one-on-one tutoring, and more intensive academic mentoring as needed. ? Boys to Men and Circle Mentoring provides school-based group mentoring to boys, girls and mixed groups of youth, supporting their transition from childhood to adulthood. ? one.n.ten at The Launch Pad, brings meaningful program to LGBTQ+ teens in the Quad City Area. ? Outdoor Adventure Programs that engage youth in activities such as hiking, rock climbing, canoeing, outdoor cooking, and more. ? Week-long summer day camps where youth visit local galleries and artists’ studios to work on art projects, and take trips to museums; learn practical, real-life skills and are introduced to “adulting”; learn to play an instrument, form a band, and plan and put on a concert. ? Project Launch includes four (4) 5-hour trainings focusing on youth workforce development, the capstone of which is an internship with a local business or apprenticeship with The Moon Café. ? The Moon Café, a social enterprise where youth gain work experience. ? Our Teen Advisory Council (TAC) organizes educational campaigns around issues and challenges facing teens in Yavapai County. Each campaign concludes with a pro-social event that builds community and further educates youth. ? Our Women’s Empowerment Breakthrough (WEB) offers a 3-day leadership retreat to young women.
