WELCOME
to the Andersen Teen Center! The Teen Center is a positive place for teens to have fun and relax, featuring a multitude of different activities and programs.
THE YOUTH EMPLOYMENT SKILLS (Y.E.S.) PROGRAM
The Youth Employment Skills (YES) Program is an on base volunteer program for high school students and is offered at selected Air Force bases. This program, underwritten by the Air Force Aid Society (AFAS), is a joint effort between AFAS and Air Force Family Member
Programs Flight to offer high school students an
opportunity to learn valuable work skills, "bank" dollar credits toward their post-secondary education/training, and have a positive impact on their base community.
YES allows high school students to "bank" $4 in grant funding for every hour volunteered in an on base function. Students may accumulate as much as 250 hours over all 4 years of high school combined, for a potential maximum of $1,000 toward their future vocational-
technical or academic endeavors. In addition, the base will be credited with $2 for every volunteer hour, to be used in support of base youth program enhancements (up to $10,000 per year). Interested students should contact the Teen Center at 366-7706 for eligibility requirements and enrollment procedures.
JOIN THE PARENT ADVISORY BOARD!
The parent advisory board is made up of parents with children enrolled in the CDC, SAP, FCC and Youth Programs. Although they do not set policy, they are an integral group for infusing new ideas and support for our programs. The PAB provides input on parent involvement and parent education programs they would like to assist with and plan activities to say "thank you" to the staff for the great job they do. Although staff are not members of the PAB, they attend the meetings to assist with corroborative activities and to ensure compliance with regulations
