Howell Teen Center Led by a wonderfully creative and enthusiastic staff, the Howell Teen Center is located right in the heart of downtown Howell at the Barnard Community Center, 415 N. Barnard Street. It is THE place for youth aged 12-18 to hang out, take classes, play pool, see live bands, go on field trips, and much, much more. While some activities have costs associated with them to cover our expenses, daily admission to the Teen Center is free. From the very beginning, this has been a place where teens can come to gather with friends, interact with adults on relatively equal footing, gain recognition for their efforts and skills, make choices about what they will do and how they will do it, all in a place that is teen friendly and teen driven. The center first opened its doors back in May 2003. Since then, literally hundreds of teens from the Howell area have enjoyed the many recreational and social opportunities available.  Parental permission is the first step to participation. Stop in and pick up a short form and liability waiver, fill it in and return it with parents signature and you’ll be a part of the Teen Center. Our center is committed to being an important part of our community - it is the ONLY one in Livingston County. Feel free to stop by and visit, meet the staff, and check out our program offerings. Supported in part by a grant from the Livingston County United Way. Hours The Howell Teen Center will reopen this fall on September 2, 2008.  We will be open Monday - Friday between 3 p.m. and 6 p.m. The Teen Center will close for the summer on June 5, 2009 when we present the "Last Day Breakaway". (The Teen Center will be closed on all Howell Public School holidays and for inclement weather.)
