Youth Center

The Montville Township Youth Center was completed in 2003. It is located in Community Park on Changebridge Road. The goal of the Youth Center is to provide a supervised environment free of violence, alcohol, tobacco, and other drugs for youth to participate in activities and interact with each other. Within the building are a big screen television, ping-pong table, computer lab, quiet rooms, and a well-trained and responsible staff. Many activities are available from non-structured ‘Drop-In’ time to scheduled programs where participants are asked to register in advance.

Hours & Drop-In

The Youth Center is currently open Monday through Friday from 3 p.m. to 6 p.m. and is only available to students in grade 6 and up, regardless of whether a child is with or without a parent.
