Programs:

The youth drop-in program acts as the nucleus that draws youth to the Centre voluntarily.  Through their participation in  drop-in activities, our youth become aware of options available to them for support, education and training.  All programs, activities and services are funnelled through 5 main program areas.  Each of these areas engage youth in various programs and activities geared to arm our young people with knowledge, experience, skills and support that will build their personal skills and increase their resiliency in order to have hope for the future.  The following is a brief outline of each program area:
