These ostriches need to learn the concept of personal space.
[ Under 21s ]
Hey, my name is May and I just started working at the Youth Center. I don't have many preconceived notions about what this place is or should be, which is good because it's not for me. It's for you guys. With that in mind, I'd love if you could answer some questions for me, because we can't shape it into what you guys want or need without your input. Feel free to make the message private to me if you don't want to share with your peers.
I'd like to get to know you all, so let's start with names
Did you know the Youth Center existed? Have you been to an event or the center itself?
I know adults aren't cool, but if we could facilitate activities just for you guys, what would bring you to visit us?
Social events? Non-school-related classes (like exercise/sports or hobbies)? Something else? Be specific and dream big!
Would you or your peers use a safe space for advice outside of your guardians, with the express promise that whatever you share is confidential?
Would you like this to be one-on-one, or in small groups? Both?
If we could do one thing to make your life here easier, what would it be?
