Our High School Drop-In program takes place every Thursday evening from 6-9pm. It is open to all students currently in High School and those completing a victory lap.
The evening is designed to give the teens a lot of free time and space. They can take advantage of our video game centre, play board games or cards together, play pool, ping pong, air hockey or foosball, do some arts and crafts, workout in our gym and weight room, or simply hang out and chat with their friends. We want the youth centre to become their space and to be a place where they feel safe and they can be themselves. Outside they can play any number of sports, from basketball and ball hockey to soccer and spike ball. We’ve got a great space to play pretty much anything.
Additionally, between 7-8pm we host what’s called Supper and Soul Talk. During this time the teens, volunteers, and staff all have dinner together and then take part in a meaningful discussion. The topics vary widely but they are always youth related and are designed to encourage the teens toward holistic health.
