Chop’s Teen Club

Chop’s Teen Club offers activities in tech, work readiness, music, fitness, art, culinary projects, and wellness, and also provides space for teens to hang out. Every activity at Chop’s builds life skills.

• Ages: 12–18 years old
• Schedule: Open Tuesday–Friday from mid-afternoon to early evening, with extended hours offered on school breaks.

The mission of Chop’s Teen Club is to provide a safe, fun and productive place where Sonoma County teens engage, connect and discover their true potential, and that mission continues as the program adjusts to today’s new normal. The program describes itself as the ultimate afterschool teen program in Sonoma County and as a place where teens feel safe to be who they are, where they find mentors, healthy activities and confidence in their futures. Chop’s Teen Club serves teens in 7th–12th grades. Charles DeMeo’s gift of $16 million created Chop’s Teen Club, which he envisioned as a bridge to the future for teens and based on his view of teens as an asset, not a problem. Families can text Chop’s Teen Club at (707) 702-1895 for information regarding their services. The leadership team includes Program Director Kevin Anderson, Program Manager Teejay Veii, Member Relations staff member Diane Iverson, Work Ready Coordinator Damien Silver, Development Director Angela Sanville, and Executive Director Melissa Stewart.
