YAC (Young Adult Centre)

​In April 2021, G.A.P. launched monthly YAC Hangouts that took place virtually over ZOOM. By April 2022, G.A.P. hosted the very first in-person YAC Hangout - a bagel-making activity at the G.A.P. Kitchen at Trinity United Church. 

Since 2023, the YAC program has evolved into a bi-weekly drop-in. Youth (ages 12-18) are invited to join us at G.A.P. (in the basement of Trinity United Church) in downtown Gravenhurst. Participation is completely free and includes games, crafts, socializing and snacks! For a look at the upcoming activities - and registration for activities that require pre-registration, please see below!
