• There are many youths who have feelings of anxiety surrounding the idea of socializing with their peers. This has only increased after the global pandemic. Hosting a silent disco will alleviate the pressures of socializing, while also allowing youth to meet one another. 

• This event will serve as a safe space for youths who have a difficult time interacting with one another, while also fostering a sense of community! 

TIPS FOR WHEN & WHERE
