EXCITING UPDATE JUNE 2023!  The Teen Center has now moved to Burke High School!  Moving to Burke High School allows us to be in a high traffic area of the school.  We will now be on site during the school day to provide support for students and to collaborate closely with Burke staff.

St. Luke encourages its church members to continue to financially and in other ways support The Teen Center; however, all gifts and donations should be sent directly to The Teen Center at their new Burke location and should no longer come to St. Luke.  Monetary donations to The Teen Center can be made through their web site or mailed directly to them (a link to the web site and their mailing address appear near the bottom of this page).

============

St. Luke Teen Center was started in 2007 to meet after-school needs of Burke High School students.  The Teen Center program works to help teens discover and pursue their potential while working toward self-sufficiency.  Programming includes academic assistance, post-secondary preparedness, exposure events, alumni services, health and wellness, and student and family support services.  The program is open to all Burke students thought most “at risk” in some fashion.  Each year, the Teen Center accepts approximately 120 students and has an average daily attendance of 50.

In 2021 the Teen Center went through the exciting process of rebranding and becoming their own 501c3.  The Teen Center is now a collaborative effort with St. Luke, Burke High School, Nebraska Methodist College and numerous community partners.  Although the Teen Center is now their own 501c3, St. Luke still supports through the financial support of its church members.

The Teen Center is funded by gifts and grants.  Check out the Teen Center web site (see button below) to learn more about the Teen Center and/or how your gift can support this program.
