Our Mission.

We provide engaging, interactive, and activity-based programs designed for youths aged 5 to 18, with a primary focus on fostering youth mental health, body positivity, friendship, mentorship, and community connection. ​

 

Our commitment to inclusivity is reflected in the diversity of our programs, ranging from educational initiatives addressing critical issues like mental health and bullying to recreational activities and skill-building workshops.

 

We continuously strive to create a well-rounded and inclusive space for all youth, enhancing our mentorship capabilities and developing engaging programs to keep our youth actively involved. ​

 

Programs are offered during afternoons and evenings, featuring speakers and activities aimed at building positive connections, fostering healthy conversations, and nurturing a positive sense of awareness for the youths' positive development into young adulthood. Our no-cost afterschool and evening care programs, catering to youths aged 5 to 18, include special programs for specific age groups, encouraging active participation and family registration.

Additionally, paid programming for Professional Development days and Seasonal Breaks, with subsidies available upon application, ensures accessibility for youths aged 5 to 14. ​

 

Our commitment extends beyond specific demographics, making our youth center a safe haven for all youths in the Grande Prairie region, regardless of background or socio-economic status.

We welcome every young individual seeking a supportive environment to learn, grow, and develop. ​ Our mission is to create a safe and inclusive environment through our youth programs, ensuring that all youths feel valued, supported, and empowered.

 

By establishing community connections and providing tools for growth, we contribute to positive mental health and development. ​

 

Our impact resonates within the youth and the broader community when young people feel safe and included in our programs, fostering an environment where they are more likely to grow, thrive, and excel.

 

Together, with our affiliates, partnerships, dedicated Youth Leaders, Board of Directors, and the remarkable young individuals and their families, we collectively empower these youths to make healthy life decisions through guidelines, expectations, friendship, support, mentorship, and community connection.
