Youth One

Youth One provides mentorship based, after school programs and support services for youth ages 11-18. Programs are designed to give students a community of belonging, support and guidance during their most formative years.In 2014, Youth One launched because of a major need in many communities: a lack of affordable, quality driven, mentorship based programs supporting youth after school. In Canada, almost 1 in every 2 youth will grow up without a mentor or role model in their life. This means many youth are going through life without necessary guidance and support during their most formative years. Research tells us when a youth has even ONE positive role model/mentor in their life it dramatically reduces many risk factors such as drug and alcohol abuse, crime rates, mental health issues, drop-out rates etc.*Youth One is a partner project of Bridges of Hope.
