The Teen Venture Center is located in Richlands, Virginia, and serves youth in Tazewell, Russell, and Buchanan counties.

Teen Venture is a 501 (C)(3) charitable organization that was incorporated in 2001 by a group of business, educators, ministers, and elected officials in an effort to break the cycle of alarming school dropout rates, alcohol and drug abuse, and the lack of youth involvement within the community. 

​

Our membership includes students who are in sixth-grade through age twenty and who are enrolled in middle school, high school, or college.  For our older members who choose not to attend college, we require them to be employed by a local business, so they are learning a skill and are contributing to our society in some way.
