At Grounded, we provide drop-in study sessions every Wednesday from 3-6 pm. Our main room in Grounded is supplied with snacks, drinks, hygiene supplies (soaps, toothpaste, pads/tampons, etc.) We also provide services like a Podcast/Studio room so people who are interested in the music field can practice here and learn how to produce/engineer their own music, our Situation Room will be used for mental health sessions, meetings, and creative use, and our last room is the Study room, which is provided with a bookshelf containing textbooks, notebooks, and storybooks. We also have a Black Coffee Internship which is an 8-week program with a barista program as well as a social justice program that starts each cohort in the fall and spring which will be every Friday from 4-6 pm and Saturday from 10 am-2 pm. We would prefer to have the volunteers be vaccinated or show proof of a negative test, but they are not required to in order to sign up.
All programs are FREE of charge to youth participants.
Our programs are primarily grant funded, sponsored, and supported by community members just like you.
