A youth-run bookstore and social enterprise where teens and young adults ages 16–24 run the business themselves.
More Than Words is not a drop-in shift — it is a youth-run business. Teens and young adults aged 16 to 24 run the bookstore and social enterprise themselves, which makes it a different proposition from the family sorting projects on this list: real responsibility, on a real shop floor.
Because of that, it suits an older teenager looking for something substantial rather than a family wanting an afternoon together. Their site explains the pathways to joining.
