My Place Teen Center is a nonprofit in the Individual and Family Services sector offering free, year-round afterschool programming for vulnerable youth aged 10–18 in Southern Maine. It operates locations in Westbrook and Biddeford, providing safety, nutritious meals, trauma-informed support, and opportunities designed to address hunger, poverty, housing instability, and adverse childhood experiences. These programs are provided at no cost to teens or their families and rely on the generosity of donors and volunteers. Founded in 1998 and based in Westbrook, Maine, the organization centers its work on four core commitments: meeting basic needs with daily meals in a welcoming environment, cultivating belonging, building practical skills and real-world opportunities, and strengthening emotional wellness through trauma-informed mentoring. In the most recent year on record, it served 908 youth, provided about 12,000 meals and 13,267 snacks, and delivered 1,140 specialized programs. The center has expanded its footprint to Biddeford, reflecting growth in its service area.
