Located in East Vancouver, we are a free place (both free-of-charge, and we are interested in freedom) where youth can engage with each other and their community. The Centre is a physical space to root ourselves, a place to work together, and a site to learn new ways for radical organizing for social change.

Drop In Hours:

Monday -Thursday's 4:30-10:30 PM

**

The centre is open other times for workshops, events and other classes: see projects/classes for more details!
