Youth Drop-In Center

An after-school space of their own — to land, unwind, and belong.

School’s out. Our doors are open.

Every weekday afternoon, the Guided Grace FYS Youth Drop-In Center opens its doors to Saginaw youth ages 6 to 18. It’s a place to land after school — to make something, play something, talk with somebody, or simply take a breath — with friends around and caring adults nearby. No appointment, no pressure. Just a safe place that’s theirs.

What’s inside

  • Music & Creative Arts — beats, brushes, and room to make something that’s theirs
  • Esports & Gaming — consoles, competition, and teammates; play hard, play fair
  • Sensory & Relaxation — a calm corner with space to decompress and reset
  • Friendship & Support — peers who get it, and adults who show up

What youth take with them

  • Build confidence
  • Manage everyday challenges
  • Make positive choices
  • Have fun in a supportive environment

When & where

  • Hours: Monday – Friday, 4:00 PM – 7:00 PM
  • Ages: 6 – 18
  • Location: 1232 N. Michigan Avenue, Saginaw, MI 48602
