How She Does It

Podesto Teen Impact Center provides a fun place for Stockton teens

Remodeled out of the former El Dorado Bowl, the Podesto Teen Impact Center is located at 725 El Dorado St, Stockton, California. It’s a non-profit organization managed by Family Resource & Referral Center of San Joaquin County which provides a space for teens to safely hang out and simply have fun.

It is important to support spaces like this, especially in our city where 28.6% of its population are 17 years and younger. They are Stockton’s largest demographic group! The center provides a range of activities from basketball courts, music and sound equipment, rock climbing wall, conference rooms used for art activities and meetings.

Upcoming events at the center

Teen Turn Up, this Friday, July 19, 2019 from 6 pm – 8 pm, is a youth concert featuring professional artist from Stockton, California.

Classes are held throughout the day Tuesday – Friday from 3 PM – 8 PM. On Saturdays from 12 PM – 5 PM.

Support the Podesto Teen Impact Center in three ways

Stop by for a visit. You’re welcomed to tour the center during their open hours. Plan to take advantage of the many programs available for teens.

Make a donation. They are currently looking for sports equipment. Keep watch through their website and social media for their wish list updates. Your donations will be tax deductible!

Volunteer. Contact Teen Impact Center to find out how you can bring your skills, talents, and programs to Stockton’s teens.

With closure of many of my childhood hangouts, like Golfland, Hammer Skate, and arcades, it has been challenging to find places for my own children to hangout. When my kids have gone to the Teen Impact Center, I feel confident that they’ll be safe there and have a good time. Have you visited there before? When was the last time?
