The FORT- Foundation of Resources for Teens

What an incredible day of community, connection, and support! 💙

The FORT is incredibly grateful to have been part of the 441 KM Together event, organized by the amazing team at .

This event brought our community together to move, connect, and raise awareness around mental health and the importance of having accessible supports available to those who need them.

We are especially honoured to have been selected as one of the organizations to benefit from this incredible event, alongside who do tremendous work across Niagara. The support raised will help the FORT continue to provide free programs, services, and opportunities for youth throughout West Niagara.

The message behind the event really resonated with the work we do at the FORT. Young people should never feel like they have to navigate life's challenges by themselves. Having a safe place to go, people to talk to, and a community that cares makes a tremendous difference.

A huge thank you to the 21 Initiative, the event sponsors, volunteers, organizers, vendors, and every runner and supporter who came out and participated in the event. We are incredibly grateful to have been a part of it, and to have your support. 🏃🏃‍♀️

When people hear "youth centre," they often picture one thing.

The FORT is so much more.

We're a place where young people can grab a healthy meal, connect with friends, meet with a professional counsellor, learn practical life skills, participate in workshops and activities, or simply spend time in a space where they feel safe and supported.

Every young person walks through our doors with different experiences, strengths, and challenges. That's why there's no one-size-fits-all approach to what we do.

Whether someone stays for five minutes or five hours, our goal is the same: to make sure every young person knows they belong.

Every young person's story is unique, but one thing we hear time and time again is how meaningful it is to have a place where they feel welcomed, supported, and accepted.

This is why the FORT exists.

Behind every meal served, every conversation, every workshop, and every counselling session is a young person finding connection, confidence, and hope for what's ahead.

Thank you to the youth who trust us with their stories.

When we say the FORT has provided more than 10,000 units of service over the past 10 months, we're talking about so much more than a statistic.

We're talking about meals shared, conversations that mattered, safe spaces after school, professional mental health counselling, life skills learned, friendships built, and trusted adults showing up day after day.

Every unit of service represents a moment of care. On their own, they may seem small—but together, they tell the story of a community investing in its young people.
