What it is

A space to ask anything.

Alpha Youth is a series of weekly sessions where teens watch a short film, share food, and talk about life's biggest questions. No question is off-limits, no judgement, no cost. Just real conversation in a safe, fun environment.

🍕

Food first

Every session starts with a free meal and time to hang out with friends.

🎬

Short film

A ~20-minute video on a different big question each session.

💬

Real talk

Small-group conversation where every opinion is welcome.

🆓

Always free

No cost, no catch, and you can bring a friend any week.

Who's it for?

Built for teens. Reassuring for parents.
