ValleyTeens is your online space for teen-friendly events, places, projects, programs, and people in the Pioneer Valley! Here, you’ll find a guide to all the best local things for teens to do. Of course, we realize that teens in the Valley face a common enemy: lack of transportation. That’s why all of our recommendations fall along the PVTA bus routes! If you can get to a bus stop, you can get practically anywhere! (We also realize that Valley teens face another common enemy: lack of funds. That’s why all our recommendations are cheap or free.)

But I hate the bus!

Some of our recommendations aren’t real places at all; as great as the Pioneer Valley is, teens still need the freedom and opportunity that only the internet, books, or magazines can provide.

Who are we?

Karen is a public librarian. Becky is a school librarian. Between us, we have experience both raising teenagers in the Pioneer Valley and being a teenager in the Pioneer Valley. Email us at valleyteens@gmail.com.
