Our Vision
We believe in empowering youth to shape their own futures. All of our services and programs are youth-led, solutions-based, and trauma-informed. We aim to facilitate interdependence, personal growth, and capacity-building among youth for long term stability.
Impact Change
We believe that systemic change takes place at the intersection of safe housing, comprehensive supports, and meaningful opportunities. We offer on-site and outreach case management support, mental health and addiction assistance, education and employment opportunities, and community integration. We seek to prepare youth for the uniquely uncertain and challenging times of our current economic and social climate–we cannot build the future for our youth, but we can build our youth for the future.
Project Development
CYC has secured 4 lots of land in a residential neighbourhood on Thornbrough Street that is near city parks, close in proximity to other support and resources, and situated on a main Saint John Transit route. We are gearing up to break ground this spring and aim to have this resource available in June of 2025.
Help change what’s possible for youth in the Greater Saint John Region. Together, we can build a foundation of support, opportunity, and possibility.
