The Xchange Teen Center Open House Was a HUGE Success! 💫💜🩵

Our open house was more than we ever could have hoped for! We had such a great time welcoming families into our new space, and it was wonderful to see everyone come together and enjoy the evening!
We had several people generously donate food and drinks, and we added a little fun to the evening with a trivia game! I contacted the parents and grandparents who were planning to attend ahead of time and asked them to share a few random facts about themselves. Then we challenged everyone to guess who was who! 😂🤪 Let’s just say, if we don’t know the answer to something, it must be “Brenda or Harley’s mom!”🤣 😉
The teens had the opportunity to give their families tours of the building, introduce them to our kittens, and show off some of the fun things we have to offer. Some even enjoyed a little pool, air hockey, and ping-pong! 🤩
It was such a fun evening, and we are so thankful for everyone who helped make it happen! ❤️
A HUGE thank-you to everyone who donated food and drinks, our staff who stayed after to help, and every family member and friend who took the time to come out and support us. We appreciate you more than you know! 😍
And here’s another exciting update… WE NOW HAVE 50 STUDENTS SIGNED UP! 💃❤️🕺
We average between 25 and 30 teens each day, which is wonderful considering sports and other activities keep some of our students busy!!!
Thank you, Hanover and our surrounding communities, for believing in what we are doing! 💫❤️

These pictures are from Tuesday… Sorry it’s been a busy week and things were a little hectic 😬😉, so I’m just getting to posting them…
The kittens continue to be a HUGE hit with the teens! 🐾❤️ We also had Bob the Builder ( Bob Sulkowski) join us, and the kids had an absolute blast making adorable little squirrel feeders and Halloween lanterns! 🐿️ 🎃 We love having people come in and share their time, talents, and creativity with our teens! 💫
A big THANK YOU to our wonderful volunteers, Mollie Hubler, who is brand new to our volunteer crew and did a fantastic job, and Ana , who also jumped right in and helped make our day a success! We appreciate you both so much! ❤️💫
And a HUGE shout-out to Pastor Ross Wendy Valentine for spending their time putting together our pool table and foosball table, along with cleaning and getting everything organized!
Our MAN CAVE is officially READY TO ROCK! 🎱🎉
There are so many people who give their time and talents to make the Xchange Teen Center a special place for these kids. We couldn't do what we do without you!
It truly takes a village, and we are so thankful for ours! ❤️

We try to teach life lessons at The Xchange Teen Center and while we have A LOT of fun along the way, those lessons are important! ❤️
Right now, our teens are working with community business owners to create scarecrows for Hanover, and they are learning so much more than just how to make a scarecrow!
They’re learning how to work together, communicate, problem-solve, think creatively, and—maybe one of the biggest lessons of all—how to make do with what you have!! They also know we are doing this as a fundraiser so their work has to be somewhat good… 😉
This particular group decided they needed a tool belt and a screwdriver. Instead of saying, “We don’t have one,” they got creative and MADE one from scratch! 🔨❤️
We’re so proud of these kids! 💜🩵

We will also be playing a fun trivia game and we will have snacks! 💃😊🕺

Last week, we had the privilege of welcoming State Trooper Nathan Dillon from Brighton back to The Xchange Teen Center! He spent time talking with our teens about internet safety—such an important topic, with so many valuable lessons and reminders for our kids!!
Thank you, Trooper Dillon, for coming back to spend time with us!
Afterward, the teens enjoyed a little downtime together—relaxing, hanging out, and just enjoying being at the Teen Center. ❤️

The other day, a friend of mine saw the pictures of our kittens online and said, “Those kittens need some kind of a box to play in!” 💫She even sent me a picture of an idea.
I showed it to Kristen Shearer (our resident crafter ) 💃💕💫 and one of our teens immediately said, “Oh, I can do that!” (Sarah Beaton)
And look what they created! 🥰🐾
Together, they made this awesome little playhouse for Shadow and Comet! 🐾❤️
I absolutely love watching the kids take ownership of things like this. What started with a simple picture and an idea turned into a fun little project for one of our teens—and a new place for our kittens to play! ❤️
And I think it’s safe to say… the kittens approve! 😊
