Adolescence is a key period in one’s life where reasoning skills, abstract thinking, and the ability to use “meta-cognition” are developed.

The Teen Lounge became a place for teenagers to relax by playing video games, participating in arts and crafts, or even reading with the volunteers or other teenagers.
