Highest Priority Needs
YOU supports youth to build the skills, confidence and independence necessary to reach their potential. Your donation to our Highest Priority Needs allows YOU to direct your gift to where it’s most urgently needed – so your donation will have the most impact for the youth we serve! This could be at our Youth Shelter, towards Housing Services, to support initiatives in our Youth Centres, or any of a number of supports that will provide youth with the basic needs and services necessary for them to get and stay on a positive path.
