School’s out. Hangout’s on. >>>

Need somewhere to go after the final bell? Drop your backpack, take a breath, and spend the afternoon in a place made for students to relax, connect, and be themselves.

 

Come hang out in the lobby, get moving in the gym, catch up with friends, or meet someone new. You don’t have to attend Rainier View—or any church—to join us. Just come as you are.

WHAT TO EXPECT

Your afternoon. Your place to land.

After a full day of classes, you don’t always need another program. Sometimes you just need somewhere you can be.

  1. Unwind in a relaxed, welcoming environment
  2. Spend time in the lobby and gym
  3. Connect with friends and meet new people

FOR PARENTS

More than somewhere to wait.

The hours after school can be difficult to cover. And students need more than a place to pass the time. They need consistent people and spaces where they feel seen, respected, and cared for.

 

Our goal is to create a dependable, safe, and welcoming environment where students can decompress after school, build healthy relationships, and know there are adults in their community who genuinely care. Multiple trained and background checked adult volunteers will be present and actively engaged each afternoon.

 

Rainier View is a Christian church, and our faith shapes the way we serve and care for our neighbors. Students from every background are welcome; church attendance or shared beliefs are not required. As relationships grow, students may choose to talk with leaders about life or faith. We want those conversations to be honest, respectful, and free from pressure.

A PLACE TO DECOMPRESS | ADULTS WHO CARE | EVERY STUDENT WELCOME

READY TO HANG OUT? >>>

Registration is quick and free.

Complete the short form before the student’s first visit so our team has the contact and permission information needed to welcome them well.

*** Students may begin the form, but a parent or guardian must provide or approve the required contact and permission information before the first visit.
