The Brunswick Area Teen Center (BATC) provides a free and safe space for teens to engage in creative outlets, share their talents, hang out with friends, and participate in an abundance of activities put on by staff. Located in the Coffin School (rear entrance next to school bus parking lot) at 22 Barrows Drive in Brunswick, the BATC is on the Brunswick School system bus route, as well as the Brunswick Link route.
Established in 2005, the Brunswick Area Teen Center is a drop-in center where youth in grades 6-12 can hang out for free and enjoy time with their friends while meeting new people. There are no geographic requirements for membership.
The Teen Center Advisory Committee (TCAC) consists of members of the community who steward the Brunswick Area Teen Center through fundraising, program development, and problem solving.
