The Cannon Barcus Community House and Bessie Carmichael Elementary After-School Programs offer youth a better alternative. “The worst case scenario: If not for the Teen Center, I could be on the streets or in a gang,” Elias, a student at Aptos Middle School, knows he wants more out of life. This articulate, passionate eighth grader began going to the Teen Center two years ago. Before becoming a program participant, he was getting Ds and Fs. Now, his grades are mostly Bs. |
