How to Reach Us

The Youth Advocate Program is a great place to meet up with friends or make new ones. Shoot a game of pool, use the computers, do homework or play video games.
The program focuses on providing substance use prevention and awareness, anti-bullying and self-esteem. Informational classes are held in the local schools in collaboration with school staff.
The Youth Advocate program works in conjunction with the Hastings Youth Council to offer supports to families in need such as short-term financial assistance and access to the food pantry. If you know a family that is in need or are interested in donating, please contact JoAnn.
We are currently open to youth Monday and Friday only. Due to social distancing requirements we are reducing our capacity to 10 youth at a time, temperatures are taken at the door and hand-washing is strongly encouraged during your visit.
Safe Rides is not currently operating.
