A partnership between the Government of Saskatchewan, the Regina Youth Advisory Team, and the John Howard Society will give access to youth through a new drop-in centre.

The youth-driven service provides a safe space and improved access to a broad range of community social services for young people ages 12 and up. The program aims to support youth in enhancing their quality of life through access to cultural programs, education and training programs, health programs, support, and information.

The Ministry of Social Services is providing more than $165,000 in annualized funding to support the development and operation of the centre.

The Youth Advisory Teams are part of a comprehensive, multi-year youth engagement initiative to provide connections to an array of services directly supporting youth as they transition from care and build their independence.
