Youth
The goal of North Shore Neighbourhood House’s Youth Program is to provide youth services to our community through our various neighbourhood locations and through partnership with other community service providers. We believe youth are valued members of our community; we work to support young people in a variety of ways.
If you are interested in meeting new friends, or just want a place to hang out, take a look at our calendar or drop by to see what we have to offer. Everyone is welcome!
