In today's world, our youth face complex challenges, including vaping and drug use, sexually transmitted diseases, teen pregnancy, and mental health patterns such as anxiety and depression. To address these critical issues and many others, the Teen Maze—a dynamic and engaging event—has become a cornerstone of our community's efforts since 2012.

Organized by the Rome-Floyd Commission on Children and Youth and the Department of Public Health, the Teen Maze offers a hands-on experience that mirrors the classic board game “The Game of Life.” This immersive event presents teens with real life scenarios, helping them understand the consequences of their choices, enhance their personal responsibility, and develop essential skills for making positive decisions. Through navigating this interactive maze, participants gain valuable insights into peer resistance, effective decision-making, and planning for a successful future.
