Welcome to the Uxbridge Youth Centre!

A free after-school drop-in centre for youth ages 11 and up.

We are proud to offer a safe and supervised space for kids to hang out and enjoy fun daily programs. Whether you’re looking to craft your next DIY masterpiece, cook up a delicious snack after school, score a few goals in street hockey, meet some new people, or enjoy a movie with your friends – there’s something here for everyone! Come on by during our drop-in hours and have some fun!

The best part about the UYC is that it’s absolutely free! We provide youth with craft supplies for DIY projects, ingredients for snack recipes, computers to access the internet and do homework, video game consoles to play games, guitars to jam out on, and a vast collection of modern and classic board games – all for free!

In addition to our drop-in hours, the UYC runs weekly workshops and programming that youth are invited to try out while they’re visiting our space. Check out our Programs section for more information on our regularly scheduled workshops and special events!
