The offices at the Rutland Street location are strictly for administration purposes, but the goal of the organization is a noble one. As a nonprofit, the goal of the Center for Teen Empowerment is to teach young people how to address, mediate and plan events about how they can become agents of change in the community. This is administered at the street level in the organization's offices in Roxbury, Dorchester and Somerville, and in Rochester, New York.
