About this service
40.1% of homeless youth were younger than 16 when they first experienced homelessness. Youth enter YWS with a lack of life skills to move forward in their lives; and overall feelings of hopelessness and no confidence. Recognizing these realities, placing youth at the centre of all services and decision-making YWS has moved away from separate and distinct programming to an integrated Life Skills and Employment Program. This new model launched in Winter 2017 aims to provide both YWS residents and former residents in our Aftercare Program with life skills training and support based on their individual needs. Previously workshops were developed for groups of residents, this new direction addresses specific life skills needs in a one on one manner as set by the residents case manager and the youth resident. A holistic, personalized perspective recognizing that youth each have different strengths, challenges and dreams.
