The youth drop-in has outgrown its two-afternoon schedule. Last spring we averaged 34 students a night, up from 19 the year before — and the feedback from families was clear: more nights, please.
Starting Monday, September 14, the drop-in at Harbourlight Hall runs four afternoons a week:
- Monday — 3:30–6:00 p.m. — open drop-in, snacks & games;
- Tuesday — 3:30–6:00 p.m. — new! homework help with volunteer tutors;
- Wednesday — 3:30–5:30 p.m. — drop-in, then everyone's welcome to stay for the community supper;
- Friday — 6:00–9:00 p.m. — new! games night for grades 7–12.
As always, the drop-in is free, no registration required, and open to all students in grades 6–12. There's always a snack, a quiet corner, and an adult who's glad to see you.
Tutors and mentors wanted
The new Tuesday homework session needs two more volunteer tutors — if you're comfortable with middle-school math or English (or just patient and encouraging), we'd love to hear from you. Volunteers complete a short orientation and a police record check, which we arrange and pay for.
