- Description
Our study center will be a place just for older students who need a space for independent study, but who are also searching for community & friendship outside the home. In this "social media-free" zone, tweens & teens have the chance to make connections with peers, gain independence, learn in community, benefit reciprocally from peer-tutoring, enjoy a change of scenery from home, & combat loneliness!
Our study center will be monitored by an adult volunteer to ensure safety, problem-solve/provide support as needed, and encourage independence.
Teen drop-in study center will be available any time on Tuesdays during the hours from 10 am - 3 pm. (Staying the full day is not required. Teen will be expected to sign in and out upon arrival/departure.)
Teens are invited to Community Lunch with the Pathfinders from 12:15-12:45 pm, and to participate in their supervised outdoor recess from 12:45-1:15 pm.
Laptops & iPads are permitted but must be used for academic purposes. Phones are not permitted (other than making calls for pickups in the designated "Phone Zone"--the vestibule). Because Harmony encourages a focus on interpersonal relationships, social media is not permitted on-site, and no electronics are permitted at community lunch or recess. Inappropriate use of electronics will not be tolerated.
Quarterly pass: $75.00
Harmony membership is required for all Harmony activities, which includes access to family events, CREW activities, and more, plus helps covers insurance, salaries, & administrative costs.
