What Is the Best Buy Teen Tech Center?
The Best Buy Teen Tech Center, located on the 2nd floor of the Republic Bank Foundation YMCA, is a free, inclusive space where youth ages 12–18 can explore their interests in technology, design, music, and media—no YMCA membership required.
Powered by Best Buy, this center helps bridge the digital divide by giving teens access to tools, training, and mentoring that unlock potential and prepare them for school, work, and life.

Why It Matters
Best Buy believes that technology can empower people to dream big and accomplish great things. But in many communities, access to the tools and guidance needed to succeed simply isn’t there.
The Teen Tech Center provides:
- Hands-on experiences in programming, filmmaking, music production, and graphic design
- Mentorship and relationship-building that instill confidence and connection
- A foundation for school, career, and life success
At the Y, teens are not only learning technical skills—they’re discovering who they are and what they’re capable of.
