Find everything you wanted to know about the Xtreme Teens Program! Below you will find information to help answer your questions about becoming an Xtreme Teens or Xtreme Pre-Teens member. If you need additional assistance, we encourage you to stop by your local Prince George's County community center and talk with the knowledgeable staff about our programs.

How do I get my FREE youth ID card?
If you already have your FREE SMARTlink account, come into any M-NCPPC community center in Prince George's County, and using your SMARTlink family PIN and individual bar code, ask staff at the center for your FREE youth ID card!

If you don't yet have a FREE SMARTlink account, register as a SMARTlink client so you can get your FREE youth ID card. Come into any M-NCPPC community center in Prince George's County with your parent/guardian. Bring documentation with proof of residency and age for parent/guardian and for children. (Each family member may register as a SMARTlink customer, so age and residency documentation are required for all.) After you've completed this step, one family PIN and individual bar codes for each family member will be provided. Using your family PIN and individual bar code, ask staff at the center for your FREE youth ID card! Click here to Download a Registration Form for SMARTlink to bring with you.
