Where we meet
Where we meet
Our Free Minds is a community space where young people can explore what is interesting and important to them, supported by open, attentive adults.
We offer time, space, and relationships that allow children and young people to follow their own interests, develop connections, and engage in self-directed learning in ways that feel meaningful to them.

Our goal is to create a stable, supportive community where young people can build relationships over time.
Many of the children and young people we work with benefit from continuity, so we encourage a regular pattern of attendance to support connection and a sense of belonging.
