Teen Hall set

The teen years are often seen as an unfortunate developmental stage that adolescents just need to get through.

Be Awesome Coalition knows this is a critical and necessary time that doesn’t have to be a struggle but can be a time to thrive.

To help teens navigate this time, Be Awesome will hold a Teen Hall on Oct. 16 at the Maricopa Library and Cultural Center.

The one-day conference/expo on the teen experience with speakers focusing on issues relevant to teens and their parents as well as resources and teen-focused entertainment. Local experts will discuss on internet safety, suicide prevention, financial aid, parent teen communication and other topics. Teens will be able to talk with local business leaders about future careers.

An open mic from 4-6 p.m. on the library lawn will offer teens an opportunity to showcase their talents.
