The nCENTER is Rockford’s first “by teen, for teen” activity center. Located at 220 S. Madison, the nCENTER gives teens a fun, positive, and engaging place to spend free time.

Rockford’s top local program providers have joined forces to provide free, educational, and recreational programs to teens during the summer months and after school. Taking advantage of the facility’s indoor pool, indoor/outdoor basketball courts, computer lab, internet café, fitness center, multiple meeting rooms, outdoor pavilion, and stage, program providers are able to offer a wide variety of programs and workshops.

Programs include ACT Prep, poetry slam, PhotoShop, art classes, one-on-one tutoring, dance classes, outdoor adventure club, math refreshers, swim lessons, gaming, computer classes, career exploration, football, tumbling, and many more!

The nCENTER provides the Rockford area with a “one-stop-shop” for free, engaging, and enriching programs, aimed to keep teens active and off the streets.
