For years, the Tallahassee community has been asked to provide a place dedicated to teen youth development; a place dedicated to serving some of our most vulnerable youth; a place for teens to expand their opportunities, learn about social responsibility, civic awareness and be gently guided through a restorative justice program. In August 2010, the Palmer Munroe Teen Center opened its doors as the first teen center in Tallahassee, Florida. A collaboration between the City of Tallahassee, Leon County, Leon County Schools, and the Department of Juvenile Justice, the Palmer Munroe Teen Center offers a unique blend of educational classes, workshops, programs and recreation activities for youth. The Center also serves as a safe, productive oriented haven for many area youth.
Community Connections
Community Connections is a Restorative Justice program for teens ages 13 through 17. The program focuses on teaching and practicing empathetic communication skills, while each youth works towards completing a series of individualized pro-social goals. Community Connections serves youth who have been offered a diversion by the court system or are referred by their juvenile probation officer. Additionally, Community Connections serves youth from the community who want to build their communication and conflict resolution skills. Over the course of a fourteen-week cycle, teens, staff members, and community volunteers attend classes twice a week. For more information, please call 850-891-2567.
