History
In May of 2007, the Braintree Rotary Club founded the Braintree Community Youth Center to provide a fun and safe place for Braintree's youth to hang out and enjoy. A board dedicated officers and directors was formed and worked tirelessly to establish and now endeavor to maintain a safe, supervised and fun location for middle school and high school aged youths. Supported by a cadre of committed and caring volunteers, the youth center is manned an open every Friday and Saturday evenings. The Town of Braintree graciously provides the center with a rent-free building.
Whether youths are into video games, sports, arts, and crafts or board games, there is always something to do and friends to share your interest. The center currently has two pool tables, a foose-ball table, two air hockey games, ping pong, and a growing collection of video games. During good weather, outdoor space is made available for basketball games, keep-away, and dodge ball.
On any given night, the center may have between 30 to 85 members present, so we are always looking for additional volunteers to assist in supervising the youths in attendance. All of our volunteers are CORI cleared as part of the screening process. To find out more about how to get involved, please click here.
