We still have spots open for this month's 3rd Space!!

Join us on Tuesday, Sept 29th from 6-7:30PM for our FREE monthly hangout at Public Works Art Center, (made possible by Reagin Orthodontics!) Here, 5th-8th graders can just hang, play chess, play basketball, make crafts, and learn about local nonprofits and community orgs—all screen-free, for free! No phones, just a bunch of in-person fun. This month we're partnering with Summerville Family YMCA's Y on the Fly Program and the Dorchester Alcohol and Drug Commission!

This is a drop-off event, no grown-ups allowed 😉 We have registered chaperones to keep everyone safe! You can pick up your child anytime between 7:30-7:45pm.

There'll be free pizza, drinks, and crafts for the kids! And as always, thank you SO SO much to Reagin Orthodontics for making this monthly event possible!
