OUR FLAGSHIP COMMUNITY SPACE

A permanent creative space designed for teen girls and those who identify with girlhood to heal, connect, and belong.
The Space is a first-of-its-kind creative community space for teen girls and those who identify with girlhood in Pasadena. Born out of disaster response, the center was created to provide long-term stability for girls whose lives have been shaped by crisis, displacement, trauma, and transition. This is a place where girls are not expected to perform, recover quietly, or move on before they are ready. It is a place designed specifically for them.
