Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Q. Who is TeenWorks for?

Q. When and where are the meetings?

Q. Who is the contact for TeenWorks?
A. The director of the TeenWorks program is Curt Jackson, who is the teen and special events recreation coordinator for Belvedere-Tiburon Recreation. Otherwise known as “Moose".
Q. How does the program work?
A. Any middle school student can join TeenWorks and agree to be held accountable to their pledge by participating in monthly community service projects, member meetings, workshops, fundraisers and social activities (parents must also agree and consent that their pre-teen/teen can participate). Active members are awarded for their participation based on a point system, where points are accrued for participation in the various monthly activities. Members obtaining a certain number of points are eligible for our TeenWorks Friday Night Out social events (usually occurring on the 4th Friday of each month), trips to amusement parks and an end of the year overnight.
Q. How much does it cost to participate in TeenWorks?
A. Good news! It doesn’t cost a dime to participate in the Teenworks program. The program is subsidized partially by Belvedere-Tiburon Recreation and partially by fundraisers that TeenWorks members will conduct periodically to raise money for Friday Night Out events, trips and apparel.
Q. What happens at the meeting?
A. During the meetings we welcome new students, talk about what service projects we want to participate in, what members want to do for the monthly socials, etc.
Q. What about the workshops?
A. In the workshops we discuss leadership development, teamwork and social responsibility. There are no dry lectures here. Instead we discuss the four core values, leadership development, and community responsibility. Members will also participate in fun teambuilding games and activities.
