Belonging goes well beyond the physical space.

It means a community to come to. A place to let your walls down. When you decide and in your own way, belonging means being able to grow into who you were meant to become.

"I was really worried about what people were going to think about me. And this place is like, you do it your way, you do what you want, you are you."

Belonging means having a community you can count on. Especially when you need it most. That might mean a supportive ear to listen, a warm meal, the space to breathe, or access to other resources like computers, art supplies, etc. Or maybe, all of the above. It’s all here for you!
