EDGE Teen Center

WellSpring made a tremendous push in 2008 to establish a foundation from which we can care for our immediate community. After many discussions and much research, we decided that the best way to serve our neighbors is to serve their youth. We established a nonprofit organization that is positioned to open a teen center within walking distance of area high schools, and raised the seed money for the creation of the first one.

EDGE Teen Center opened in February 2009, and is located halfway between the main and freshman campuses of Lakota East High School, within easy reach of 2,600 students. More than just a place for teens to meet, EDGE is dedicated to providing life-on-life mentoring relationships with caring adults through:

• Community service
• Social activities
• Counseling
• Tutoring
• Life skills development

Amenities at EDGE

• Café serving snacks, coffee drinks and smoothies
• Internet café
• Video game systems – Wii, X-Box and PS3
• Video projection for movie or TV viewing
• Quiet areas for studying or doing homework after school
• Stage and state-of-the art sound system that showcases local teen bands
