Westcoast Connection began with the goal of using exciting, memorable travel to enlighten and inspire teenagers and to enhance their understanding of themselves along the way. With a simple philosophy of "EACH & EVERY" we could never have guessed how many thousands of teens would come to share in our spirited and tightly knit groups where everybody is included in an enriching program.

The mission of Earthwatch is to engage people worldwide in scientific field research and education in order to promote the understanding and action necessary for a sustainable environment. Earthwatch offers a variety of family-together volunteer projects that make great hands-on learning experiences (includes several teen programs). Earthwatch's Teen Team Expeditions explore the world's most beautiful and endangered places. And these hands-on trips aren't only educational, but a way for teens to make a real difference and truly help the places they visit instead of just 'seeing' them as a passive bystander. The organization also offers all the tools, training, and experiences their volunteers need to make an impact.

The Jean Lind Teen Center is a Park and Recreation program located at the Fairbank Community Center. The Teen Center provides Sudbury youth with the option to socialize and have fun on Friday nights in a safe, supervised, and well-equipped setting.
Use one of our many arcade games, play Wii, pool, foos ball, or air hockey, listen to the music of a live DJ, participate in special events, lounge and watch TV, or grab a snack at the snack bar.
All teen center events are supervised by the Teen Center Director and staff, Friends of the Jean Lind Teen Center board members, 10-12 parent chaperones, and a uniformed police officer. Admission into Teen Center events is $8.00 per student with an ID and $10 per student without an ID card. Need a new ID card? Come to the Fairbank Community Center during our office hours and have a new one printed for $5.00.
