We do not, as our primary focus is on working-phase adults.  As we grow, we look forward to expanded possibilities.

Before Urban ReThink, our space housed the Urban Think! Bookstore. It was a flagship of culture and community in Thornton Park. When the owners decided to close the bookstore, the Urban Think! Foundation rallied a team of creative thinkers to put together the space as we know it today. A vote was cast among the former Bookstore customers, as well as some new friends. In the end, the voting and the planning committee brought us to Urban ReThink, a name that suggests the evolution of the direction of the space as well our fresh approach to working and living creatively.
