Teen Programs
At the Boys & Girls Club of San Marcos, our teen programs are designed to meet young people exactly where they are – curious, capable and ready for new challenges. Serving middle and high school students at five school-based sites and the Teen Center at our Jennifer Loscher Branch, teens have access to spaces where they can feel supported, build skills to support their future and bring their ideas to life.
From hands-on creative projects in our Teen Tech Center to opportunities to step up in Leaders in Training, career exploration through our Career Pathways program and off-site excursions, overnight camps and college tours, our teen programs offer meaningful experiences that help every young person find their place, their voice and their path forward.
Membership for high school students is just $50 for the entire school year. Visit our main branch to learn more about our Teen and Teen Tech Center and take a tour of the facility.
