We have some exciting news to share… please help us welcome Andrea Stankevitch, our new Assistant Director!

Andrea is a Berwick native and Berwick High School alum who recently made her way back home after spending many years in the Boston area. And we are SO excited that her journey brought her back to Berwick and to us!

Andrea brings a pretty incredible mix of experience to the Teen Center. She has a Master’s degree in Expressive Therapies from Lesley University and a Bachelor of Music from Berklee College of Music, along with years of experience working with children and teens through music, expressive arts, education, program administration, and youth support.

She’s also a professional musician and songwriter! 🎶 Her original song “Sky Turns Red” won a Grand Prize in the John Lennon Songwriting Contest, and she’s performed alongside major recording artists at Lollapalooza and Virgin Mobile Festival. Over the years, she’s taken that love of music and used it to help young people connect, express themselves, and work through some of the hard stuff life throws their way.

But beyond the impressive resume, Andrea truly understands what we want the Teen Center to be: a place where teens feel safe, supported, welcomed, and free to be themselves.

She’s excited to give back to the community that helped shape her, and we’re excited to see all the ways her creativity, experience, and heart for young people will add to what we’re building in both of our Teen Centers.

Welcome home and welcome to the team, Andrea! We’re so glad you’re here! 💕

Check it out!

Already heading to the Bloomsburg Fair? You’re going to need somewhere to park... so why not make that parking spot do some good, too?

This year, you can park at 820 Railroad Street in Bloomsburg for just $5, and on September 26th, 28th, 30th, and October 2nd, your parking fee will help support the Bloomsburg For the Cause Teen Center!

Our teens and volunteers will be there from 9 AM–8 PM, helping with parking and raising funds to support the programs, opportunities, and space we provide for local teens.

And if your fair day doesn’t happen to fall on one of ours, you can still park there! Throughout the fair, the same lot will be raising money for some other great local groups, including the Bloomsburg softball team and Bloomsburg Boarding House. So no matter which day you visit, your $5 parking spot can help give back right here in our community. ❤️

You’re going to the fair anyway. You have to park somewhere. Might as well park for a cause!

We’re still trying to wrap our heads around this one.

Yesterday, we had the incredible honor of attending Service 1st Federal Credit Union | Friends you can bank on.’s Annual Charity Golf Tournament, where For the Cause was selected as one of this year’s two benefiting organizations and we were presented with an absolutely incredible $34,000 donation!

There really aren’t enough words to express how grateful we are.

For a small nonprofit like ours, a gift of this size is truly game changing. This is money that will directly impact the lives of the teens we serve helping us create safe spaces, provide meaningful programs and opportunities, connect young people with support, and continue showing up for them in bigger and better ways.

To everyone at Service 1st, the golfers, sponsors, volunteers, and every single person who played a part in making this tournament possible: THANK YOU. Thank you for believing in our mission. Thank you for believing in our teens. And thank you for choosing to invest in young people in our community. We cannot begin to tell you how much this means to us. 🫶🏼

And somehow, the day gave us even more to be grateful for! We also had the chance to meet Alicia and Cara from the The Salvation Army Bloomsburg Service Center, the other organization selected to benefit from this year’s tournament. We had such a great time getting to know them, learning more about their work, and talking about ways our organizations might be able to work together in the future. We walked away not only with an unbelievable gift for our teens, but with what we hope is the beginning of a wonderful new community partnership.

Yesterday was one of those days that reminds us just how lucky we are to do this work in a community that continues to show up for one another.

This gift is going to make an incredible difference in the lives of our teens, and we cannot wait to show you what your generosity makes possible.

From all of us at For the Cause, and from the teens whose lives will be impacted by this gift, thank you, Service 1st. Truly. 💙🧡💚

We had a great time at Bloomsburg Middle School & High School’s Meet the Teacher Night last night! 💙

It was great getting to talk with students and families about the Teen Center, share a little about what we have going on, and see so many familiar faces and old friends along the way.

Thanks for having us, Bloomsburg! We’re excited for another great school year and all that’s ahead! 🎒

🥰🥰

Last night was a reminder that once you’re part of the Teen Center family, you’ll always have a place here. ❤️

A group of our alumni got together to catch up, share what they’ve been up to, laugh about old memories, and make a few new ones. It’s amazing to see that the friendships built within these walls continue long after graduation.

The Teen Center may have been where our stories started, but it definitely wasn’t where they ended. Here’s to staying connected, cheering each other on, and proving that this community lasts far beyond high school.

There’s nothing better than seeing our alumni continue to show up for the next generation!

Today, some of our alumni stopped by to support and help out the Berwick Youth Action Board’s ring toss and dirty soda stand at Berwick Area United Way’s Celebrate Berwick event.

Giving back to the community that helped shape you is what being part of the For The Cause family is all about!
