The Sad Cafe began services as a non-profit on 1999. We have become a "teen center" and community resource without the stigma attached to many centers, as youth flock to the Cafe to be with their peers.The Sad Cafe strives to provide, promote and support positive life choices for our community through innovative programming for children, youth and families. We provide a safe, substance free environment for youth to gather and socialize, and explore their talents.We also provide parenting education, peer outreach, mentoring and community capacity building through collaboration and coalition building.
