The Garage: December is the Time for Giving!

Imagine you’re a teenager. One thing’s for sure – it’s hard. There are stressors everywhere you look, from social media, increasingly competitive academic pressure, continuing to find new normalcy in a post-COVID world, to rising costs for your family or friends trying to remain in our community. Now imagine having free access to a place where you can decompress after school, grab a drink and snack, and connect with friends and trusted adults. A place where you can relax and be yourself, play games, find clothes, create art, make music, plan an event, or lead a panel discussion. You can talk to a licensed therapist any time you need to. And importantly – create as many crazy flavored Italian sodas as you want. This place IS the Garage. Last fiscal year, 672 teens visited the Garage 15,475 times to engage, create, and find supportive community and needed resources. ​Your gift today is an investment in teens and a commitment to creating a thriving community.
