Who we are

Our Goal

To empower youth ages 13-19 years who are experiencing homelessness or facing challenging life circumstances by offering accessible, compassionate services to those in need.

Our Approach

We prioritize connecting youth with community organizations by providing accessible and convenient access to essential resources. Our primary initiative for achieving this goal is our annual “Main Event,” a comprehensive one-stop hub where youth can access a wide array of services, addressing diverse needs ranging from employment training to personal care, such as haircuts. As YEG Youth Connect continues to grow, we are exploring opportunities to extend these collaborative, community-driven initiatives to a wider range of communities year-round.

Our community

YEG Youth Connect’s goals are made possible through the collaboration and generosity of our community partners and sponsors. The diversity of these partnerships provides youth with agency and autonomy at a time when their options may feel limited. We are deeply appreciative of our collaborators for dedicating their time and expertise to provide accessible compassion to our youth communities.
