Youth Programs

Some of our regular programming includes:

• Weekly drop-in/workshops like “Youth R’ Us”, English Conversation Circles, “Tutor Time” for homework support. 
• Young woman focused programs like ‘Its a Girl Thing’ and “Young Women’s Circle” encouraging aspirational planning and empowerment
• Sports and recreation opportunities including monthly field trips, when possible

We partner with Greenwood Secondary School and Downsview Secondary School, providing programming on site in partnership with the TDSB and other community partners. We also run a youth health clinic at Greenwood Secondary School.

One-on-one counselling can help you with your new life in Canada and other things that are important to you. We can help you with filling out forms, police and the law, education, employment, counseling (when you need someone to talk to), information about other services, housing, food, health care, and immigration. We provide services to all newcomer youth regardless of race, class, sexual orientation, gender, culture, religion and ethnicity.

• School
• Resumes
• Filling out forms
• Someone to talk to
• Immigration
• Making friends
• Finding a place to live

• Other things that are important to your life!
