Youth Programs Overview

The youth programs at JFCFC are committed to increasing the voice of and building the capacity and leadership of youth in our community.

The goal of the program is to prevent violence and drug misuse as well as promote healthy lifestyle choices among youth. This is done through social, educational, arts and recreational programming and after-schools programs, leadership and peer mentoring groups, drop-ins, outings, volunteer and employment opportunities.

The main funders for the program are the Ministry of Health Promotion (JFCFC is one of 22 FOCUS sites across Ontario), United Way and Ontario Trillium Foundation. The program also includes many other partners and funders year to year.

We offer the following activities for youth aged 13 to 24.
