🎉 Youth Empowerment Program (YEP) — There’s a place for YOU! 🎉

Looking for a place to hang out, meet new people, try something fun, or learn something new? We’ve got you! 💙

The Youth Empowerment Program is hosting regular events and drop-ins where youth can come together, have fun, and enjoy a safe, welcoming space to be themselves! 🙌

Referrals are OPEN. If you, or a youth you know might benefit from anything we have to offer, please do not hesitate to reach out.

✨ What’s new?
We’ll now be offering Junior and Senior events and drop-ins, divided by age group so activities are a better fit for everyone. Be sure to check each event posting for the age range!

🎯 Who can come?
Our events and drop-ins are open to the public for youth ages 12–18! No referral is needed to attend unless otherwise specified — just check the age range listed for each event and come join us!

💙 Looking for a little extra support?
If you or someone you know could benefit from more individualized, one-on-one support, referrals to YEP are still open! Visit **www.yepfep.ca** to learn more and get started.

Whether you’re looking to make connections, try new things, build skills, or just have somewhere safe and meaningful to spend your time, we’d love to see you there!

Many thanks goes to the Douglastown Lions Club who donated to the Youth Empowerment Program from their 2nd Annual Mental Health Gala on May 9th.🥳

The incredible members of this club host their annual Mental Health Gala to raise awareness around the topic of mental health - big cheers to them for their efforts and care they bring to the community!👏

The donated funds will go directly to supporting youth in our community receiving free programming such as events, drop-ins and activities that represent the importance of youth-led spaces that empower and build resiliency. The Youth Empowerment Program recognizes the vital role we play in youth mental health by offering supportive programming and spaces that can help build confidence and community connection. 🤩
