TEENS (12+)
Hangouts: More than a class. A place to come back to. For TEENS.

Lohayo Hangouts are ongoing social-learning spaces where teens can explore something they enjoy while building skills, confidence, and connection along the way. Each Hangout has a focus—sewing, cooking, building, social-emotional learning, and more - but there's room to move at your own pace, try new things, create, talk, laugh, and get to know the people around you.

Come to learn. Come to create. Come to connect. Come hangout!

Lohayo Hangouts designed for middle schoolers and high schoolers.

Hangout registration is by month (4 hangouts). New Participants can join any week - ask about a prorated month for a mid-month start. Curriculum varies either by individual participant or weekly topic.
Advance registration is required.

The goal: capable, connected kids who feel more confident walking through the world.

Learn more about each Hangout Below.
Hangouts are weekly repeating classes for teens.

    What’s Going On at Headquarters?

    Inspired by Inside Out, Headquarters is a weekly Hangout exploring emotions, relationships, communication, confidence, decision-making, and what’s happening inside our minds.
    Through games, challenges, movie clips, real-life situations, and conversation, we’ll build SEL skills while learning more about ourselves—and each other.

    Every week is different. Come back to see what’s going on at Headquarters

  • Tuesdays | 10am–12pm or 4–6pm

    Every sewist starts with Intro to Sewing, using self-paced lessons and hands-on practice to learn foundational skills and safe equipment use. Experienced? Move quickly. New? Take your time.

    Become Sewing Ready, then choose the featured project, pick another, finish something you started, or create your own.

    Different projects. Different skill levels. Lots going on. That’s Sewing Studio.
    Sew much fun!

  • Wednesdays, 10am-12pm Or 4pm-6pm

    There’s something about food that brings people together. Pull up a chair. There’s a place for you here.

    Each week brings a new hands-on food experience—measuring, mixing, chopping, assembling, creating, and learning practical skills along the way.

    We’ll talk, laugh, work together, try new things, solve problems, and learn from each other.

  • Thursday, 10am-12pm Or 4pm-6pm

    Funny how life eventually expects you to know all of this...but when exactly were you supposed to learn it?

    Each week, we’ll tackle a different real-life skill through hands-on challenges, practice, conversation, and plenty of figuring-it-out-together—from money, laundry and paperwork to communication, organization and everyday decisions.

    Let’s learn it now—**for future reference.**

  • Friday, 10am-12pm Or 4pm-6pm

    **Games. Challenges. Teamwork. Laughs.**

    Each week at Challenge Accepted! brings games, Minute-to-Win-It challenges, brain teasers, team competitions, puzzles, and ridiculous tasks with one goal: have fun together.

    While playing, teens practice communication, teamwork, leadership, problem-solving, time management, flexibility, perseverance, and sportsmanship—without it feeling like a lesson.

    Do you accept the challenge!
