Enjoy games, activities, and pizza each month at this drop-in event for teens ages 11 - 18. Please register to help us plan supplies. January's theme is "Teen Social Justice & Activism Day".
Teens can participate in one or both of the following activities:
“Create Your Cause” Zine workshop: Craft a personalized zine that reflects your unique voice. Focus on the social issues most meaningful to you such as climate justice, LGBTQ+ rights, anti-bullying efforts, mental health awareness, racial justice, or accessible education.
“Needs & Offers” Community Board: Contribute to a collaborative visual space dedicated to mutual aid, resource sharing, and community connection. Anonymously or openly post something you need, such as extra school supplies, help with transportation, a supportive peer to talk to, or access to affirming resources. Or post what you can offer, from tutoring skills and extra art supplies to volunteer time or a willingness to support new friends.
