Teen Centers

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.

Teen Centers and are sponsored by the Westford Middle School Teen Center Committee and are chaperoned by parent volunteers. Teen centers are held at the Blanchard Middle School cafe, gym for students in 6-8th grade. Parents are invited to volunteer for Teen Centers of any grade level. If you would like to be added to the Teen Center email list to receive Teen Center updates, or would like to volunteer please contact Debbie Carter. Volunteers must have a current WPS CORI on file.
