West Hartford Teen Center - Housed in Elmwood Community Center, the Teen Center is a safe, supervised, substance-free drop-in center open to high school age West Hartford teens. It is open on Monday and Friday from 2:30 - 5:00 p.m. and Wednesday from 1:00 - 3:30 p.m. A variety of activities are offered, including open gym, games, cooking, billiards, movies, arts and crafts, field trips and monthly special events. 

The Teen Center is supervised by staff, interns, and volunteers from the Bridge Family Center. To assure the safety and well-being of all participants, an Honor Code is read and signed by all Teen Center participants. Additionally, the Honor Code is displayed prominently as a reminder of expected behavior.

Funding support is provided by the Town of West Hartford, the Elizabeth Carse Foundation, the Ensworth Charitable Foundation, the Ellen Jeanne Goldfarb Memorial Charitable Trust, the George A. & Grace L.
