The five “pods,” or areas, of our center each meet different needs that high school students identified during the design process. The pods include Individual Study, Expression, Group Study/Coffee, Relaxation, and Nature/Activities. Cohesively, these pods create opportunities for building life skills, developing a sense of belonging/community, and bringing more life balance.
