THIS SERVICE IS NON-QUEER, TRANS & LGBTQ SPECIFIC

Youth Matters is designed to help youth aged 15 – 30 that are facing barriers to employment navigate the labour market and successfully transition into sustained employment. We support them through skills development, education, and meaningful work experiences. Services are currently delivered virtually.

In various community settings in North East and East London, the Youth Outreach Workers (YOW) work together with youth, ages 12-21 (aprx), to build their resiliency and skills. Workers build trust with youth, families, and the community, and support them to find appropriate programs and services. The YOW team enhances and promotes the development of community based services and leadership opportunities for young people in the community. This program is LGBTQ+ friendly and offers advocacy and support for LGBTQ youth.

We are a safe, welcoming space for youth ages 12 to 25 and their families across the Niagara Region looking to access support for mental health, substance use, peer support, education, employment, wellness, and more. All services are free of charge for youth in the Niagara Region, and services are available in-person and virtually.

The Queer Social drop in space runs monthly to meet and hangout with other members of the LGBTQ+ community, allies are welcome. See calendar for dates and times.
