SAN LUIS OBISPO HUB
THE SPACE WHERE YOUTH CREATE
The SLO Hub is a space in the Central Coast for young people to imagine, create, and grow together through mentorship and hands-on projects.
Not a Classroom.
Not a Program.
A space to explore, create, and grow
Hubs are where growth begins in confidence, creativity, and purpose. Students explore ideas, build real things, and discover who they are through the process.
How Growth Happens
Real growth comes from creation. Every Hub combines three elements that make that growth possible:
Environment
A space that feels like freedom: creative, safe, and inspiring.
Mentorship
Guidance that listens first, then helps students take their next step.
Tools & Tech
Cameras, VR, art supplies, and digital labs that turn ideas into reality.
The Hub Experience
Drop in. Create. Evolve.
Each day in the Hub flows naturally, with no pressure and no deadlines, just space to build, learn, and grow with mentor guidance.
How it works:
1
Drop in after school on weekdays.
2
Stay for your group’s time slot.
3
Flow between modes freely.
Explore Mode
Focus: Curiosity
Every student starts here. Explore Mode is where they test ideas, try new tools, and move between creative rooms — guided by mentors who help them find what excites them most.
Build Mode
Focus: Creation
When curiosity turns into an idea, Build Mode helps students make it real — with structure, mentorship, and access to all the Hub’s tools.
Pitch Mode
Focus: Expression
When a student’s ready to share what they’ve built, Pitch Mode helps them present it — clearly, confidently, and creatively.
