About the provider

Boys & Girls Clubs of Metro North has served Metro North for more than 50 years. The Stoneham Clubhouse opened on September 27, 1973, the Wakefield Teen Center opened in 2014, the Stoneham Teen Center opened in 2019, and the Saugus Teen Center opened in 2024. The organization serves about 650 children and teens each day across Stoneham, Wakefield, Saugus, Malden, Medford, and Melrose, operates out of eight sites, and runs five licensed afterschool programs. Its mission is to enable all young people, especially those who need them most, to reach their full potential as productive, caring, and responsible citizens.

Teen Center operates on an Open Door Policy. Members are free to arrive and depart at their own discretion. Returning members from the previous school year are automatically re-enrolled each September. Membership renews automatically until canceled. If a monthly payment fails, membership and Club access are paused until resolved. Cancellation is by emailing [email protected]. Every member of the household with a membership must complete three forms once per calendar year.

What families say

“I never saw empathy from strangers until I came to the Clubs. When my mom worked late, they let us stay later. When I was sad, they asked what was wrong… these strangers told me they cared.” — Amaia, Club Member
