Youth Hub Distance Learning Center

The distance learning youth hub is a place where any student in Nevada County (even college students) can come to access high speed internet in order to complete their distance learning. Parents or guardians of students in third grade or younger must remain with students while at the hub. It’s a safe, supervised, calm environment where caring adults are ready to help answer questions and navigate tech issues. The center offers two meals a day provided by GVSD Child Nutrition Services as well as lots of snacks and water. Kids are able to study outside in a fenced off area and walk the fairgrounds during breaks. Art supplies and playdough are available. The youth hub was created to meet specific internet needs during the pandemic but has also met other unforeseen needs as each student navigates unique barriers to distance learning during COVID.  
 
“The last nine months have been hard on families, and it’s been amazing to offer an alternative that helps. While there isn’t much socializing able to happen, I think it’s been helpful for the youth using the hub to just be around their peers, and see that everyone really is dealing with the same things right now, and they are not alone in the world.” -Cori Ove, Site Coordinator with Bright Futures For Youth (Friendship Club and NEO)


Currently, the hub is drop in 8:15 am to 2 pm Monday to Friday at the Nevada County Fairgrounds, Main St Building, Gate 1. For more information call Cori at (530) 615-1626 or corio@friendshipclub.org. All COVID Safety Guidelines are followed.
