What should you expect?

House Rules

You’re not alone. We check in periodically during drop-in hours to make sure everyone is heard, has what they need, and feels at home.

Kitchen and Food

We care about your wellness, body and mind. Pizza night. Grab and go. Cooking sessions where you can learn some food prep basics, dream up new recipes, or sit down and get to know someone over a bite to eat. Take what you need. All judgement free.

Wi-Fi

We’ve got you covered. You also have access to our David Bohnett Cyber Center and its multiple computers to crank out any homework, do some personal research, or take on a new set of programming skills.

Are you a parent that wants to know what the Drop-in Center looks like? Are you a young person curious about the space before your first visit? Are you a service provider that wants to know where it is you are referring clients? Whatever the reason, you can schedule a tour with one of our staff!
