No place for teens to go

Contributed by: Anonymous
Kids today getinto a lot of trouble. I no u can blame this on a lot of things but i fell it is because they have no were to go and talk. So the resort 2 bad places. And those places arent safe for kids to go. I fell that if there was a safe and clean place for teens to go there would be less accedents and other things. If only our town would bulid i tiny spot for teens to go in the summer and after school then we would have a better town. And also a much safer town. Just think about it. I have polled 20 people not only teens but their parnets as well and everyone thinks it would be a good idea if they/thier kids could go some were. Please consider this.

This is something that has been discussed before. Isn't the Boy's and Girls' Club being used for teens? I not saying we shouldn't have outlets, however Green Bay has had serious problems with certain teens that ruin things for all with fights , weapons etc. Can you maybe address how this could be handled so that parents and other teens would feel comfortable going to other venues for teens?

Actually the Boys and Girls Club of Oshkosh already offers a safe and fun
environment for teens in the summer and afterschool. It is located on East
Parkway ave and Broad st, by the railroad track. The Club has moved into
a renovation of its current Teen Center to make it more roomy and
current.

Over the summer the Club opens at 9:00am and closes at 5;30 on the
weekdays. During the school year the Club is open from 2:30 -8:30.
Over the summer there are tons activitie going on.

If you have any questions about what the Boys and Girls Club of Oshkosh
offers the community, please call 233-1414 or stop down for a tour.
