As part of Mayor Harrell’s Reach Out Initiative, free summer arts activities and mental health resources for Seattle teens are available at several local community centers. From July 21 through August 23, 2025, Seattle youth and young adults ages 13 to 19 can participate in Community Hub programs—a series of free, drop-in programming at 7 sites citywide with programming offered in partnership with the Office of Arts & Culture and Seattle Parks & Recreation.
Available offerings include arts-based classes taught by local teaching artists from the Office of Arts & Culture Creative Advantage roster. The range of more than ten cultural arts learning opportunities includes dance, jewelry-making, singing / songwriting and more.

Community Hub Site Map
Seattle teens can participate in Community Hub activities at seven Seattle Parks & Recreation community center locations citywide.
At Garfield Community Center, teens can also access peer support and dedicated safe-spaces to engage with free, City-funded virtual therapy (also known as “telehealth”). Telehealth safe sites provide the confidential space needed for young people to try meeting with a telehealth provider, as well as access to a secure device for any youth who does not already have a tablet, smartphone, or laptop. Peer support and telehealth safer spaces are available at Garfield on Monday through Friday from 12 to 6pm.
