The Calgary Youth Drop-In Centre (YDC) is a drop-in after-school program for teens in partnership with BP Church. It’s a safe place where students and their friends can come and hang out after school. Free food, video games (Playstation 5, a Nintendo Switch) and a full-sized gym. Adult mentors are here to listen and encourage youth experiencing life’s challenges.

WHEN:

We open our doors at 3:00 PM every Monday, Wednesday, and Thursday and close them at 5:30 PM. During these times, students are free to come and go, but we ask that rides be arranged to pick up students no later than 5:30 PM.

WHO:

We welcome any student in grade 6 to 12 to the YDC. We don't care what you look like or what you believe in, if you fall into the category of "Grade 6 -12", come on in! If you are a parent of a teen, and would like to see our centre, you're more than welcome to come by during YDC hours, but in order to continue operating in a safe environment, we do not allow regular visits/prolonged visits from adults who have not passed a police check through our organization. If you have more questions about this, feel free to send us an email!
