Young people feel a lack of safe, dedicated spaces where they can relax, connect, and express themselves freely. Without these spaces, they may struggle to find a sense of belonging and support. Creating safe areas for youth can foster positive social interaction and personal growth.
Establishing and maintaining dedicated youth spaces can be expensive and resource-intensive, and there’s no guarantee they will be used as intended, potentially diverting funds from other critical community needs.
Providing safe, dedicated spaces for young people fosters a sense of belonging, encouraging positive social connections and offering support, which is essential for personal growth and well-being.
