A Safe, Free, and Fun Space for Ages 12–18
Our SPOT is a free, year-round after-school teen program offered by LA County Parks. Created to provide a welcoming, inclusive, and engaging environment, Our SPOT offers teens a place to hang out, learn, lead, and explore new opportunities in a supportive, non-judgmental space.
Program Overview
• Open to teens ages 12 – 18
