Drop-In
hang out after school
The Uxbridge Youth Centre is a free drop-in centre for youth ages 11 and up. As a drop-in centre, the UYC opens its doors to local youth after school in order to provide them with a safe and supervised space where they can spend their free time. At anytime between 3-8pm from Monday to Friday, they are invited to drop by and hang out. What they do with their free time at the UYC is up to them! Whether they enjoy crafting, cooking, playing board games, surfing the web, watching movies, or just hanging out with friends – we’ve got something for them!
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, access to sports equipment, a huge collection of modern and classic board games, and much more – 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!
