Your Night, Your Crew, Your Fun!
Our Tween Drop-In Program operates on Tuesday and Thursday evenings from 6-8pm. This program is designed specifically for youth aged 10 to 13 — that unique in-between stage where they’re not little kids anymore, but not quite teens. It’s a space built just for them: fun, welcoming, and filled with opportunities to try new things, meet new people, and be themselves. Here, tweens can hang out in a safe, supervised environment that blends freedom with support.
Check out our calendar to see what activities we have planned for this month!
