Welcome to Teen Connections
At the YMCA of Metro Atlanta, we believe every teen deserves a space to connect with friends, discover new passions, and express themselves. Our Teen Connections programs are designed to bring teens together in a safe, supportive environment where creativity, fun, and community thrive.
From music and dance to art, comics, and gaming, we’ve got something for everyone—come find your crew at the Y!
Why Teen Connections Matter
Building friendships and finding your tribe helps teens:
- Develop confidence and self-expression
- Stay engaged and connected
- Discover new talents and passions
- Feel supported and included
