Newcomer Connections
Newcomer Youth Programs
A safe, supportive, and fun environment where you can meet new people, build new skills and get involved in your new home.
What we offer
Our Youth Programs are designed to help newcomer youth have a positive settlement experience and become engaged members of the community. Our Youth Programs offer a safe, supportive, inclusive, and fun environment where you can meet new people, explore your potential, build new skills, and get involved in your new home.
Our Youth Advisors regularly provide free-to-attend extracurricular support to newcomer youth between the ages of 12 and 19.
If you are a parent requiring support or guidance for your child (ages 12-19) or a youth needing extra guidance, you can also book a meeting with our youth advisors for support. Just visit the page below and pick your best date.
