What is the WYO?

The WYO (aka the YO) is a comfy basement space where high school and junior high students can come after school and on the weekends to hang out, play pool, foosball, ping-pong and relax with our awesome staff.

We also offer tons of monthly programs like concerts with local teen bands, art fairs, dances, movie and game nights, trips around Chicagoland, and monthly volunteer outings. For more about our programs click "What we Do," and thanks for checking us out!
