Mission Statement:

The Outback is dedicated to providing a positive environment where middle and high school students are able to socialize, participate in entrepreneurial and enrichment activities and contribute to the community in a meaningful way.

The objective of the teen center is to promote healthy age-appropriate development for teens and pre-teens in New Canaan. This is achieved by providing an environment designed to develop positive social skills and social competence, foster character development and enhance self-esteem - all of which are related to reducing risk-taking behavior and developing healthy interpersonal relationships.
