Please check our Events page for all the current opportunities! Here are a few things we have coming up…
Wednesday April 12, 2023 6pm-7pm– Poetry & Pizza
Youth in 5th-12th grades are welcome to join us for Poetry & Pizza! Participants are invited to attend and read poetry they’ve written, their favorite poem by another author or one they choose from a selection of books that will be available in the room during the program. While they listen and take turns reading they will be able to keep their hands busy creating blackout poetry and eating pizza! Don’t want to read a poem out loud? That is okay too, come to listen and enjoy! Registration is required to participate. 5th-12th graders only.

Thursday April 20, 2023 6pm-7pm– Friendshipping Program for 5th-12th grades
Youth in 5th-12th grades are welcome to join us for a Friendshipping program! During this program participants will meet and talk with new friends (or old friends if you already know them!) in small groups using prompts as conversation starters! Come and meet new friends and learn interesting facts about your peers, while sharing about yourself as well! This program is great for tweens & teens who are really social AND those who aren’t! Don’t worry, there will be lots to talk about inspired by the prompts provided. Registration is required to make sure we have enough friends to run the program.
