Teens life in Kansas City — the short version
If you're raising a teenager in Kansas City, this is the page that keeps up.

Most of it runs at Kansas City Public Library — Waldo Branch (9) and Kansas City Public Library — Trails West Branch (8).
Everything here is a real listing from Kansas City's own event feed, checked against each program's age range — a program whose ages overlap 13–18 shows up here even if it also fits the age next door. The library branches showing up for this age are Kansas City Public Library — Bookmobile and Kansas City Public Library — Irene H. Ruiz Branch.

Good to know
By the numbers for this age in Kansas City: 29 dated listings in the next 60 days; 16 start in the evening and 4 land on a weekend — teen programming keeps teen hours; the busiest single venue is Kansas City Public Library — Waldo Branch with 9 of them.
On cost: none of these listings carries a free tag in Kansas City's feed, so treat prices as check-the-listing — libraries and rec centres often run these at no cost, but the feed doesn't say so and we won't guess.

Common questions
What's on in Kansas City for teens right now?
The feed lists 29 dated listings for this age in the next 60 days, running Oct 8 to Dec 3 — the Coming up section is pulled straight from it.
Are these drop-in, or do I need to register?
It varies by program, and the page only says which is which where a listing's own words say so — the Good to know section names the drop-in and registration listings it found. When it doesn't say, the listing link is the place to check.
What's free for teens in Kansas City?
None of the current listings carries a free tag in the feed, so check each listing for its price — we don't mark anything free that the source doesn't.
