Youth Programming
For the past eight years, 541’s Youth Program has offered a safe, welcoming space for young people to connect, grow, and belong. The program included weekly drop-in youth programming as well as seasonal offerings such as the Teen Leadership Camp.
​
As of the end of this year, the Youth Program will be coming to a close as we refocus our efforts on sustaining and strengthening the cafe. This decision was made with care and gratitude for the impact the program has had and the young people who shaped it.
​
A full reflection on the legacy of the Youth Program will be shared on our blog in the new year.
