Residents and dignitaries celebrated the opening of the Port Hueneme Teen Center Wednesday, a collaboration between the city and the Boys & Girls Clubs of Greater Oxnard and Port Hueneme.

Teens age 13-18 can congregate at the center to receive education and career support, character and leadership development and health and life-skill training. There will also be space for art and recreational activities.

Additionally, the site will provide social-emotional health for teens to recover from COVID-19 disruptions.

The Boys & Girls Club will provide two workers to assist the teens. An English tutor and a math tutor will also be available.

The center is located inside the city’s Orvene S. Carpenter Community Center at 550 Park Ave. It’ll be open Monday through Friday from 3-7 p.m.
