DISCOVER YOUR PURPOSE.

A place for homework, hangout days, mentorship nights, and people who will be glad you came.

YOU DON'T HAVE TO HAVE IT ALL FIGURED OUT TO BELONG HERE.

Some days youth need help with homework. Some days they need a snack, a game, and room to breathe. And some days they need someone to notice they have been quiet and ask how they are really doing. The Lounge is designed to make room for all of those moments.

♧

Hangout Days & Nights

RELATIONSHIPS THAT MATTER

A GAME CAN START THE CONVERSATION. A RELATIONSHIP KEEPS IT GOING.

Youth rarely tell you everything the first time you meet them. Trust grows when you remember their name, ask about the test they were worried about, and are there the next time they walk in.

The Lounge creates space for mentorship nights and everyday conversations about life, challenges, and the next step forward. Contact us for current programming and schedules.

Someone in your corner.

Conversations and relationships that matter.

MORE PEOPLE IN THEIR CORNER.

Families need more people in their corner, too. The Lounge brings tutoring, friendships, and mentorship together in Blaine—a place youth can return to and be known.

“We want youth to leave knowing someone noticed them—and will be glad to see them again.”
