Will you be the village that ends youth homelessness?
Empowering Youth
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.
build our youth for the future
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.
Help change what’s possible
Project Development
Mitchener Village opened its doors on July 1, 2026 to youth ages 19–25 experiencing homelessness in our community. Now, CYC is building the next chapter: the Belonging Restored Endowment Fund.
This permanent fund will help ensure youth have access not only to safe housing, but to the wraparound supports, everyday resources, and caring relationships they need to build stability, dignity, and independence.
Help change what’s possible for youth in the Greater Saint John Region. Together, we can build a foundation of support, opportunity, and possibility.
A Permanent Source of Support
Help Unlock a Matching Challenge
For many youth, Centre for Youth Care is the only place they feel safe, supported, and able to dream about their future.
The Belonging Restored Endowment Fund will provide reliable annual funding for the everyday needs that have the biggest impact, but are often the hardest to fund. That could mean groceries, a bus pass, emergency support, professional clothing for a job interview, or even a small birthday celebration that reminds a young person they matter.
CYC now has a time-sensitive opportunity to grow this fund. If $400,000 in commitments is secured by August 15, 2026, the J.T. Clark Family Foundation will launch a $200,000 matching challenge for the Belonging Restored Endowment Fund.
