At Fox Den Third Space, our mission is to provide a safe and nurturing environment where children can connect, socialize, and grow. We believe that children need a "third space" beyond their homes and schools, a place where they can develop independence and form meaningful relationships.
The inspiration for Fox Den Third Space comes from years of experience working within the homeschool community. Through event planning, teaching, and co-founding a nonprofit homeschool community, Tara Massey recognized a critical need for a space where children can congregate, autonomously. Fox Den Third Space aims to fill that gap by blending social connection with individualized skill-building.
“Fox Den Third Space was envisioned as a space for kids of all ages, but it was designed especially with teens in mind. It’s clear that the social landscape for our teenagers has changed. The traditional hangouts of the past are no longer as prevalent, leaving our teens without a dedicated space to gather, connect, and grow. It's essential that we recognize this shift and work together to provide them with new opportunities- not just for social connection, but for developing life and learning skills that prepare them for the future”
