What?
What happens during Drop In at O-YA? A little bit of everything! As the name suggestions, participants are welcome to drop in when they like, and come and go as they wish. Sometimes we have activities programmed during Drop In hours (see our This Week section to find out more) and sometimes we just hang out, chat, watch TV, play cards or board games, enjoy the Wii, play guitar, challenge each other to a foosball or air hockey match, do homework, read ... the list goes on and on depending on who's here and what participants feel like doing. Drop In hours at O-YA are always supervised by at least 2 O-YA Youth Workers. Our Youth Workers are truly fantastic - they are all great at integrating new participants, visiting with each participant and keeping everyone involved and entertained.
