Neutral Zone, a transformative, youth-driven community in Ann Arbor, welcomes youth to engage in a summer of creativity, connection and empowerment. Each week from Monday to Wednesday, the center offers a daily drop-in space, healthy snacks and three activity options featuring local artists. Thursdays bring the entire community together with engaging activities. The Neutral Zone encourages new youth to join at any time, welcoming all levels of experience.

The upcoming Week 6, running from August 5 to 8, 2024, is the Summer Finale Week, promising a series of exciting activities. This week features Tie Dye sessions, allowing participants to bring vibrant colors to shirts, socks and more. Karaoke sessions invite youth to sing their hearts out in celebration of the last week of summer. Additionally, table tennis will be available for those looking to flex their ping pong skills, learn proper playing etiquette or simply have some fun.

From 3 p.m. to 4:30 p.m., on August 8, 2024, the Summer Mini Showcase and BBQ will take place.  Teens can enjoy a BBQ, followed by a Mini Showcase for family and friends from 4:30 p.m. to 5 p.m. This event offers an opportunity to display the talents and skills honed over the summer, whether learned at Neutral Zone or elsewhere. The showcase celebrates the creative achievements of the youth, fostering a sense of pride and community.
