The YO is a place for young people to hang out, play pool, air hockey, ping pong and chill with their friends and our awesome staff. We also host monthly concerts, open mics, and other fun events. Stop in anytime! We are in the basement of the Winnetka Community House and are open after school and on weekends for a good time and some relaxation.
