Who is this room for and how will it be used?

This newly renovated space will be exclusively for teen girls currently in high school. Teens will be welcome to drop into the Centre after school to unwind and spend time with friends. They’ll have access to wifi and snacks. We’ll continue offering options for workshops and programs that answer their questions and needs.

​

Why a teen room?

Teens require space to discover themselves as individuals and build their confidence to become secure, independent adults. Often referred to as a third space, outside of home and school, this room will give young women a dedicated space of their own.

​

By creating an exclusive teen room, we hope to provide a safe space after school for the young women in our community to build friendships, receive programs and find a supportive community which will contribute to their improved mental health, academic performance, and social development.

 

What did the renovation consist of?

Tucked away from our main programming space, the new teen room will offer our older participants a secluded space to enjoy downtime after school with friends, complete homework, and access services tailored specifically for them.

​

The space will be a multi-purpose hub, with full access WIFI, comfy couches, eating area, desk space for homework, and so much more.
