Nexus Youth Centre - For ProfessionalsOur Nexus Youth Centre is a place where adolescents and young adults can come to learn
- to improve their social skills,
- to cope with the challenges of their daily lives, and
- to improve their job skills so that they can contribute to their communities.
Who is eligible for our services?
Typically, the youth who use our program
- are 12 to 24 years of age,
- want to make changes on their own, without involving their family in the process, and
- are looking for non-traditional methods of support.
What do we do?
Our Nexus Youth Centre has three programs: drop-in activities, formal programming, and youth volunteerism.
In our drop-in activities, we offer a variety of activities, for example,
- social recreation in a safe environment,
- computer/Internet access,
- a job board,
- informal counselling, and
- information about and referral to community resources and services.
In formal programming, we offer a variety of groups for youth who prefer alternative or non-traditional methods of support. These are some of the topics we cover in these groups:
- social competency and peer support,
- cultural adjustment and mediation,
- social issues or current events, and
- skill development and education.
In our youth volunteerism program, we focus specifically on developing the leadership skills of these youth while providing them with opportunities to earn community service hours and gain valuable work experience.
How can you access these services?
Youth, their parents or caregivers, and referring professionals can access these services by calling Nexus Youth Centre at 905-566-1883.
