“Don’t ask yourself what the world needs; ask yourself what makes you come alive. And then go and do that. Because what the world needs is people who have come alive.” Howard Thurman
NaperBridge at the Alive Center is a new kind of local space for teens to create, play and belong. The teenage years are a special time, a time to figure out who they are, who they want to be. Our center offers many activities for teens to explore who they are beyond academics and sports. Our mission is to provide the community with a welcoming place to create, play, learn and connect with what makes them come alive. Our NaperBridge Teen Program focuses on providing teens with a safe, fun place to lead, grow, belong and be empowered in a values-driven environment.
NaperBridge at the Alive Center is a student-driven organization. We have a student advisory board composed of local high school teens that drive our agendas and activities to ensure that they are teen relevant. Find them here: Student board. We offer many activities for our local Naperville teens:
