You are invited to tour an exciting new youth drop-in center, allcove™ San Mateo, located at 2600 S. El Camino Real in San Mateo.

allcove™ centers are designed with, by and for youth (ages 12-25), with the wisdom that we all just need a moment to reset before we can move forward. They are places for youth to access a range of emotional, physical, and social support services – on their own terms. 

Mark your calendars for the week of December 4 - 8, 2023, from 3:00 pm - 6:00 pm, and embark on an engaging tour of the brand-new, youth-designed space, which will officially open in early 2024.

During the tour, you will have the chance to visit the welcoming, inclusive space and interact with members of the allcove Youth Advisory Group and staff who have worked together to bring this allcove™ center to our community (including Borel PTA's own Wellness Ambassador)!
