Best Buy Canada is proud to team up with Meta to open our second Teen Tech Centre in Canada – this time in Toronto, Ontario!
As part of Best Buy Canada’s Teen Tech for Tomorrow program, we’re looking for a nonprofit partner, like a community space, youth centre to host this next Teen Tech Centre Powered by Meta. This expansion adds to our growing network of more than 60 Teen Tech Centres across North America, including our first Canadian location at the BGC Hillside Club in Delta, BC which opened in 2021.
What is a Best Buy Teen Tech Centre?
Best Buy Teen Tech Centres are youth-led, project-based safe places for deserving youth to experience technology, work with peers and mentors, and develop the skills needed for future career or post-secondary pursuits. For the last decade, Best Buy Teen Tech Centres have expanded across North America to bring opportunity to youth from areas of concentrated poverty through excellent organizational host partners.
