About PODs
At the Family First Community Center, we’re always looking for ways to better engage and support our teens during drop-in teen time. Starting January 2025, we’re rolling out a new initiative designed to create more meaningful and structured programming for our youth. We’re introducing Programming Only Days (POD’s) once a month to foster stronger connections and provide enhanced opportunities for growth and exploration.
When are Teen PODs?
Teen PODs are on the last Wednesday of every month during the winter session:
- January 29th
- February 26th
- March 26th
Teen PODs are from 2:30-5:30, and the schedule is as follows:
- 2:30-3:00pm: Teen check-in
- 3:00-4:00pm: Session #1
- 4:00-4:30pm: Snack break/rotation
- 4:30-5:30pm: Session #2
What to Expect
Teens entering the building on these days will have a variety of structured programs and activities to choose from, options may include: study zones, sports clinics, arts and crafts, mentoring sessions, or wellness activities! The expectation is that teens are participating in structured programs on these days.
*Drop-in basketball games, video games, or drop-in hangout time will not be available during these structured program days.
