CYJS

Our Progams

Focusing on what is strong, not wrong.

From early support to justice involvement to a pathway to independence, we have a program for any young person facing challenges.

When young people face challenges or demonstrate risk-taking behaviors, sometimes the focus is on fixing what’s wrong. CYJS sees beyond what’s wrong to build on and nurture what’s strong in young people so that they can use their unique strengths to build resilience and overcome challenges.

We work with youth between the ages of 14-24. Our programs intentionally build on their strengths, prioritizing youth who can benefit most from supportive relationships with trusted adults, opportunities to develop skills, and meaningful engagement in their communities. Through this approach, youth are empowered to recognize their potential, contribute in positive ways, and confidently shape their own pathways forward.

Our Programs

From prevention to early intervention to successfully transitioning to adulthood, Centre for Youth Justice and Success equips young people with the skills, supports, and opportunities they need to navigate challenges and build positive futures. We build resilience, foster accountability, and empower young people to achieve lasting success.
