Hello Friends,

Please take a look at our Drop in Calendar for the month of November. There are a few dates where we are welcoming a few special guests and because of that, we will be switching things up for Drop In.

On Tuesday November 17th, we will be working with Ash Murphy for a cedar workshop, and we will have that activity open to all youths aged 12 - 25 years old.

We will also have a special drum making workshop with Joe Jones which will also be for youths aged 12 - 25 years old. We will have a sign up sheet due to limited seats available. Please email [email protected] to save a spot. We will let you know a week in advance if your spot is secured for the drum making workshop.

If you have any other questions feel free to reach out to [email protected] for more information.

Due to staff sickness, we will have to cancel drop-in this evening (October 14th)

Thanks for your understanding!

Hello Friends!

As summer winds down, we want to remind you that Drop-In will be closed for the beginning of September for housekeeping duties. We'll be returning on Tuesday September 22nd. If you have any questions, feel free to send us a message or email, and we'll see you all next month.

Please note Thursday September 24th will be our Career Corner in collaboration with VNFC CEER - Job Club if any youth have questions about jobs/careers or need help with their resume.
