Social Medium is a welcoming space for teens to come, be themselves and have support as they want. We aim to provide extra support and encouragement to teens at a price families can afford. We're using art as a medium for promoting mental health, self expression, decreasing isolation, learning new things to reduce boredom, increasing mindfulness, and overall promoting positive well-being!

Social Medium is 100% volunteer run by Andrea, an LMSW, and other volunteers who have been background checked, interviewed and had trial volunteer periods to ensure they fit our mission.

How it works:

High School Students can Drop-In!  New students are always welcome on Drop-In days!!!  Teens come, talk, hangout, and create for as long as they want to and feel comfortable.

Students can Drop-In anywhere in the 3-8pm window and stay as long as you'd like for $10.  This includes all supplies, fresh popped popcorn, PB&J, a fridge full of water, juice boxes, a variety of pop, and other snack goodies for their enjoyment.

9th Grade and Up - Wednesdays 3-8pm (year round) always check above calendar for specific date closings

10th Grade and Up - Thursdays 3-8pm (year round) always check above calendar for specific date closings

Social Medium Alumni- Include Young Adults who have been attending Social Medium for the last few years but have graduated from high school.  Social Medium Alumni are able to attend any Wednesday or Thursday they want along with 18+ events (even if they haven't had their 18th bday)  Social Medium Alumni get their second visit of the week FREE 

-NEW CHANGES-

As many of you know Social Medium originally opened just for high school students.  We expanded to offer evenings for younger students.  These evenings are no longer drop-in as we need a higher ratio of volunteers and need to plan in order to keep a safe and chill environment.  Please use our TICKET  page and the Zeffy links to sign your student up for their specific gathering.

Passes Left?  Email Andrea at SocialMediumClarkston@gmail.com to have her add your student to a specific gathering until your passes run out.  We will no longer be using the pass system for younger students as we have transitioned to Zeffy tickets.  Thank you for your patience and understanding!

Social Medium guests of all ages are asked to be themselves while respecting others.  We want to keep a chill welcoming environment for everyone.  Many students have been making more friends, which we absolutely love!!!  When this happens, students tend to get excited and loud.  We are encouraging all students to use this as an opportunity to practice self regulation in their voice volume, physical expressions like skipping, jumping, running, etc. in order for everyone to enjoy their visit.  

8th Graders - Tuesdays - 3-8pm can stay the entire session

7th Graders - Mondays - can stay for a 3 hour visit

6th Graders - Mondays - can stay for a 2 hour visit

5th Graders - Can visit Once a Month - On the 3rd Monday of the Month

Students have access to a ton of stuff that is included in their visit for $10.  Not just art supplies, but also we pop fresh popcorn daily, PB&J, a fridge full of water, juice boxes, and other snack goodies for their enjoyment.

***If your family is experiencing financial hardship but your student wants to attend, contact Andrea, sponsorships available***

*If you have any questions EMAIL is best, as Andrea is the only volunteer who manages all communication.  Thank you!!!  

-GROUPS-

We love that students are loving it here and want to invite more friends!!!  And our gatherings are for everyone to come, try to make more friends and enjoy themselves.  Therefore, when inviting friends, any groups of more than 4 we are requesting you please rent our party space downstairs.  It is only $50 for 3 hours, Monday-Thursday between the hours of 3-8pm.  Adult supervision required.  Thank you for your cooperation and understanding!
