What is Honeycomb House?

Honeycomb House opened in September 2023. The members of our TIC TAC (Teens Initiating Change, Together and Committed) volunteer group played a huge role in designing the space to ensure it would appeal to their peers.  It's a space just for teens ages 13-19 and offers video games, computers, a study space, a cozy reading nook, and snacks!  Whether you need free Internet access to finish that looming homework assignment, a quick nosh on your way home from school, or just to chill out from the stresses of growing up; The Honeycomb House is here for you!
