Friday Night Live

Volunteer Club

Fridays nights in the teen center are LIT! The first and third Friday of each month, we’ll have a new activity accompanied by music and food. Come find out why the Teen Center is the place to be! Masks must be worn and social distance measures must be adhered to.

Do you love your community and want to give back? Maybe you need community service hours for school? Whatever the reason is, we invite you to join us on Tuesdays for volunteer opportunities around the Community Center.

Movie Monday

GENERAL

On Mondays, the Teen Center turns into a mini movie theater! Grab a spot on the couch with some candy or popcorn and enjoy a great film.

We will watch anything from Disney classics to the latest superhero film. All films are rated G - PG-13.

Chef Time Are you tired of fast and canned food? This fun program will have you cooking up a storm! Easy, yet delicious and nutritious meals are made in this class. Get ready to eat healthy and cook for yourself!

◊MP3◊ MP3 (Manassas 3 O’clock Club) is a non-licensed program operated by the City of Manassas Park Department of Parks and Recreation.

The program is lightly supervised for your teen to have a safe and fun place to be after school. The program emphasizes recreation with creative programs and materials that encourage and invite participation. Recreation Leaders guide students in activities that allow participants to learn; choosing independent activities or participating in-group activities that are fun, safe, and challenging.

MP3 is developed for teens in grades 6-8.

Mindfulness

MP3 is Mon-Fri during the school year from 2:45pm-7:00pm

Have you heard the saying “YOLO (you only live once)” or “living in the moment”? Our passionate instructors will teach you the basics of maintaining awareness of your feelings, thoughts, and surrounding environment. We will provide all materials for journaling as well as take-home activities to practice.

Transportation is provided from Manassas Park Middle School to the Community Center. MP3 does not meet on holidays, and teacher workdays. Must pre-register.

MP3 will only be offered on days that your child is going to school in-person.
