	What if we could eliminate boredom from Brookline teenagers' lives? On any given weekday afternoon, you might expect to see a typical teenager playing basketball at their local YMCA or socializing at a Boys and Girls Club, and in most of our surrounding communities, that's what you'd find. But in Brookline, although we have a wonderful school system and good programming for pre-teens and below, there is really no place to go, and a Brookline teenager is more likely to be found hanging around outside the high school or playing video games at home. Having decided to view this as an opportunity rather than a loss, we want to create Brookline history by setting the standard for a teen center. Our mission statement, constructed to fill this need, is what drives our goals.
