In the past this place was established as a safe place for teenagers to relax and develop as they transition into adulthood. Now, this club chooses to instigate wealth over the mutual understanding of their own youth. Instead of producing a relaxing space for teenagers to unwind, it had now been focused as a cash pit; targetting on young individuals who dont know their place in the world.

Keystone was a program located at the Club Teen Center for years and spanned across generations of youth. We helped continue and build a community of art, music, generosity, and inclusivity to the Club with the support of the Teen Center staff and youth.Recently, with the new CEO in particular, Tim Motts, we have faced decision after decision that undermined our ability to achieve our goals for career prep, college prep, community service, and teen outreach for youth.We were denied access to our Keystone room by policies implemented by the Bellevue BGC Leadership (which harmed our ability to work and meet), refused funding for our program, told the funds we raised through car washes and selling snacks were the clubs and not ours, had our supplies for our Haunted House for CRMO Awareness locked from us or thrown away although we expressed our concerns, and had the Club staff who worked with youth for decades fired or threatened for disagreeing and/or providing criticism with their decisions (including our director).Sadly, the current Bellevue BGA administration simply do not have the youths best interest in mind, and we are absolutely disappointed of how our Clubs community and legacy have been tarnished. Therefore, we would suggest finding an alternative to any Bellevue BGA locations.

We were a program at the Club Teen Center site with the goal of building a youth-led radio station in Bellevue to broadcast online. Our GZ Art Collective branch has hosted and organized youth-led/community-based art collectives/shows at the site. Weve received so much support from the Teen Center staff and community throughout our run and we are very thankful for their support.Sadly, the new CEO, Tim Motts, and particular members of the Bellevue BGC Senior Staff, do not have the same interest as the Teen Center staff and ourselves.Recently, we have been refused funding for our programs and events by the Bellevue BGC, we were told the money we fundraised ourselves through selling snacks and car washes were solely the Clubs, our planning/meeting room was denied from us, and Teen Center staff who have worked with youth for decades were fired for providing constructive criticism to the administrations decisions (including our director). Lastly, Bellevue BGC staff refused our team from filming an event at the Club and told us we did not have permission, although all attendees had filled out a media release form that includes photos and videos, and the guest organization encouraged us to provide coverage. Most alarmingly, we witnessed one of these administrators aggressively grab a youths arm, and Teen Center staff properly reported the incident, but no action was taken.In the end, we realized that the current Bellevue BGC administration do not line up with our mission and we have chosen to leave. We DO NOT recommend anyone work with the current Bellevue BGC under CEO Tim Motts, and we suggest a different child-care program for your childs well-being and safety.

I hate it 😤 they literally use us for money they should Think about the kids and what they enjoy doing the most this should be a positive and fun place where you can be happy, it’s the opposite this is exactly why I stopped going screw this place

Too many unnecessary changes caused this place to go downhill now it doesnt feel fun going there anymore

Good place, good people

Very good place for teenagers to hang out but sort of gets boring.

Happy energetic group of kids, and lots of hard working employees.

I basically grew up here and its my home
