The Hilton Family Teen Center at the Thunderbirds Branch opened its doors in 2018 giving Thunderbirds teens their own space with a separate entrance. The brand new teen center offers teen services to members in grades 7-12 (incoming 7th graders must be 12 years old). The new facility offers a games room, homework room, fitness center, teen lounge and kitchen. Teen programs are uniquely developed based on the needs and interests of the members that come through our doors. Field trips, events and programs are created to benefit teenage youth and help them grow socially and academically, while still keeping a focus on fun.

WHAT’S HAPPENING AT THE CLUB
Sydney
Arizona State, Boys & Girls Clubs of Greater Scottsdale, and Thunderbirds Branch 2024 Youth of the Year
For the past decade, Sydney F. has called Boys & Girls Clubs of Greater Scottsdale’s Thunderbirds Branch her second home.
Throughout her journey at the Club, she has emerged as a leader, advocate, and inspiration to her peers. Sydney began attending her Boys & Girls Club at the age of seven and over the years has witnessed firsthand the transformative power of the Club.
She credits the Club as the place where she found the mentors, role models, and lifelong friends that helped her navigate the pressures and stereotypes that often negatively affect teenage girls.
Sydney will graduate from Desert Mountain High School this spring and will attend the University of Utah in the fall, where she plans to major in criminology and psychology.
