Our Mission

To be a resource hub for an array of comprehensive services ensuring young people have access to resources for:

What makes us different?

We are community-based, built on a Gospel Foundation, a turning point for youth, with the continuing purpose of confronting hunger and promoting community wellness.

Our approach to youth homelessness begins and ends with a belief in young people, providing programs and opportunities which enrich, empower and improve lives under our four pillars of service:

Positive Youth Development | Health & Wellness | Education & Vocational Development | Community Capacity Building

We believe everyone has value, and that all our youth need is a little help, a little hope, and someone who believes in them.

How We Do It
