At MPTC, we focus on giving teens the resources and life skills needed to have a successful adult life. We offer free dinners, or lunches - depending on the time we are open that particular day, to our kids each day. We focus on building strong, trusting relationships with our teens. Our programming is based upon 5 categories: Social Emotional, Health and Wellness, Workforce Readiness, Civic Engagement, and STEAM. We offer free field trips to our kids, as long as they participate in three programs per week, which qualifies them as field trip eligible as our youth leadership academy. We are also a place for teens to just come chill out and know that this is a safe haven for them, with an absolute rule of "no tolerance" for bullying of any sort. It is a place that welcomes, and embraces, each unique teen in order to help them feel like this is home because for some, this is where they get their only meal of the day, homework help, and support they need to face the daily challenges of their lives.
