The Center @ 862 Seeks Board Members and Scholarship Funds Available from the PTA

The Board of The Center @ 862 (also known as the Scarsdale Teen Center) invites community members who support the mission of a safe, alcohol and drug free place for Scarsdale youth, to join them.

Responsibilities of the Board include oversight of and setting policy for The Center, promoting community relations and encouraging community driven programming and events. Board members work in various committees depending on their interest and skills. While lawyers and financial wizards are always welcome, the Board also needs energetic fundraisers, publicity gurus to reach the tech savvy teen and skillful jack of all trade volunteers.

The Center, located at 862 Scarsdale Avenue, first opened its doors in 1999. It provides programming to Scarsdale's middle school tweens and high school teens residing in Scarsdale and/or attending Scarsdale's public schools. Staff supports teens organizing their own events at The Center as well. Learn more at: www.TheCenter862.com
