Teens Make History
We study history to know the past, engage in the present, and impact the future. Discover identity and meaning in learning about our shared heritage.
The Tower Heritage Center offers opportunities for entrepreneurially-minded teens interested in skill development where craft, materials, and history intersect. From professional development to learning skills – we’re here to help teens build the future.
Our leading program, Young Entrepreneurs, offers teens opportunities to grow and challenge themselves in ways that aren’t always possible in school. Teens will get to know experienced professionals and engage in hands-on projects. All things that will help them down the road, wherever it leads.
