The team representing the Boys & Girls Clubs of MetroWest won the renovation for the teen center at the Marlborough clubhouse. The outdated center was refurbished with wall graphics, comfortable furniture, and technology.

Teens are now able to interact, collaborate, and relax in this new space with a donated Xbox, Ozobot STEM skits, tablets, and digital cameras.

“The uninviting room has transformed into a place for teens to learn, grow, and play thanks to Boston Scientific and the Boston Celtics,” said Steve Zepf , Director of Operations at the Boys & Girls Clubs of MetroWest. “This investment proves that not only do our kids matter, but what they are able to do at the Club will help them in their future and will help our community in the future.”
