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 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.
COVID-19 Protocols
During COVID-19, O-YA's Teen Drop In will take place in person as long as allowed to within Municipal and Provincial guidelines.
Participants of O-YA's Teen Drop In will have to pass a COVID-19 health screening before being admitted, wear a mask, maintain a physical distance of 2 meters from staff and other participants, practice good hand hygiene and not share food or program supplies. Participants not following these rules will be asked to leave. Teen Drop In has a maximum occupancy of 10 participants.
Outdoor Supervision
Please note that participants of O-YA's Teen Drop In program DO have 'in-and-out' privileges. This means that O-YA Youth Workers do not monitor the door - participants can come and go as they wish without Youth Worker permission / notification. And, unless we have an outdoor activity planned, O-YA Youth Workers do not supervise the outdoor spaces at O-YA. As part of O-YA's policy, Youth Workers do 'walk arounds' outside of the O-YA building once an hour during scheduled Drop In programming.
