Neighbourhood Based

The aim of our Neighbourhood based programs are to promote youth well-being by creating inclusive and accessible neighbourhood-based spaces where youth can connect with caring adult allies, take part in programing and pro-social activities, learn new skills, and be connected with a range of holistic supports as required.
