Working with youth since 1998, the Cornwall Youth Centre Inc. is an official not-for-profit charity that offers a safe and secure environment for youth between the ages of 9 and 18 years. Under the supervision of qualified staff and volunteers, the Youth Centre guides youth in the planning, organization, and delivery of a drop-in service, various activities, and special projects.
The Youth Centre is a bilingual resource put forth by the community as a prevention strategy that prepares adolescents into becoming active and responsible citizens. It serves as a catalyst for finding creative solutions for youth's individual and collective needs. Our programs and activities are accessible to all youth with special attention given to high-risk teenagers.
We strive on providing new and stimulating opportunities to all youth: sports, special events and activities, arts & crafts, fun and healthy snacks, training, and valuable life experiences. When you enter our open concept building, you will find yourself in a brightly coloured, lively, and friendly environment.
Over the years, the youth participants devoted themselves to decorating the Centre to their liking and fund-raised to purchase various equipment: pool table and games for recreation, couches and a large TV for the living room area, food preparation materials, and supplies for arts & crafts programs.
