About Choices for Youth

With the right supports, at-risk youth find stability, not another new place to sleep. Young parents find independence, not isolation and uncertainty. Youth caught in the system find healthy transitions to adulthood.

Choices for Youth has served thousands of youth since opening our doors in 1990. We strive to reach those in need, and to serve those we work with more effectively, in concert with the support systems available across Newfoundland and Labrador.

Your participation helps at-risk and homeless youth in our community. Walk with us on Saturday February 24th!
