There are two youth centers conveniently located at Fort Bliss, Replica and Milam. While attending the youth centers your teen will have the opportunity to explore and participate in activities that reach all service areas. Teens will learn leadership/ character skills, citizenship, emotional and physical wellness, and life skills and also learn information on employment/college readiness programs.
As soon as students walk through the doors of one of the youth centers, they will be greeted with open arms. They will meet other students who are excited to meet and hang out. Both Fort Bliss youth centers offer video game consoles, a computer room, snack area, homework help services and full-size gyms. These are among the recreational, educational and social services offered.
