Our Mission

To provide an environment for high risk-teen mothers - one in which staff and peers serve as a support system and as role models to facilitate the growth of young parents and their children in self-worth, self-confidence and in the skills required to become productive members of society. Youville Centre's holistic, integrated program believes in recognizing the individual needs of clients and in supporting their commitments to finishing their education and to living independently.

To assist high-risk teen mothers to provide a life style for their children that builds in strong protective factors and influences to prevent their children from developing mental health, behavioural and social problems in the future.

(The Board meets on the fourth Tuesday, alternate months. Additionally, the Executive of the Board
meets
