My Place Teen Center
We are an impactful and energetic southern Maine teen oasis that supports the needs of youth, families, and our communities. Two decades of data show that our programs:
• Accelerate students’ learning gains

• Support social and emotional development
• Prevent youth violence
• Boost on-time graduation
Why MPTC Matters:
If the pandemic has taught us anything, Maine youth are suffering and trying to cope with feelings of helplessness, depression, and thoughts of suicide. The 2021 Maine Integrated Youth Health Survey showed that 45% of middle and 49% of high school students did not feel they mattered in their community. According to the same survey, 20% of middle and 18.5% of high school students seriously considered suicide.
Program Domains:
Emotional health and well-being, job skills, civic engagement, life skills, and youth leadership.
