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, and a full-sized gym. Adult mentors are here to listen and encourage youth experiencing life’s challenges.
We open our doors at 3:00 PM every Monday and Wednesday, 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.
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 or 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!
Our after school program is located at BP Church in North Calgary, just off Centre Street. Our building is a short walk from most major bus lines such as the 3, 46, 88, 301, and more.
