A safe formative space

A group of volunteers from Youth Fellowship launched Teen Klabb, an initiative aimed at adolescents in Valletta and its surrounding areas. Designed as a safe and formative space, Teen Klabb supports young people in developing essential social skills through a holistic approach that integrates faith and learning. The charisma that the Spirit instilled in the team finds its roots in the call of the Maltese saint Saint George Preca, when in the year 1907 he collaborated with the plan of the Divine Master so that through the laity "Christ becomes known and loved".

Teen Klabb provides an alternative social space where adolescents can connect and interact with peers under the guidance of dedicated volunteers. This safe environment promotes healthy social interaction while presenting Catholic spirituality and formation in a practical and accessible way. Reflecting on this need, Pope Francis observed that many young people today feel a profound lack of belonging, urging institutions to go the extra mile in creating welcoming environments where they can experience love and affirmation. (cf. Pope Francis, Christus Vivit, 217-218).

What we do at Teen Klabb

Provide an Alternative Safe Space

Valletta is serviced by a number of leisure spaces, bars and restaurants. Nevertheless, there is a vacuum when it comes to healthy social spaces where pre-teens and adolescents can meet in a safe environment.

Monitoring while socialising

The pre-teens and adolescents are given the opportunity to interact with others of the same age while being monitored by the dedicated helpers with different professional backgrounds.

Channelling the team’s skills

Channelling the team’s skills in the right directions, activities and events that take place and are tailor-made for the pre-teens and adolescents’ needs.

Learning whilst Serving

Teen Klabb provides a learning environment for the helpers since it is proven that there is no better way to increase one’s knowledge than through hands-on experience.

Celebrating birthdays

Celebrating the pre-teens and adolescents’ birthday is important because it shows them that they are valued. We go the extra mile by giving them a thoughtful gift on their birthday.

Hospitality

Serving food and snacks during Teen Klabb is essential to initiate interaction, since adolescents seek to be welcomed and accepted.
