Our Impact
Youth Empowerment Centre
We offer youth suffering from substance abuse, addictions and mental health issues a place where they can receive structured programming directed toward resolving some of the issues they face.
We have a multi-use facility for the Finch/Islington community in North York, Ontario.
We offer a drop-in youth centre to remove barriers faced by disadvantaged youth to seek assistance with education and recreation in a culturally appropriate setting. Our staff are trained in conflict resolution, mental health awareness and social justice, in order that they provide a safe and welcoming facility to all who come.
Community Center
At the Centre for Newcomers, we are dedicated to helping new immigrants to Canada of all nationalities, ages, races and gender identities in the Greater Toronto Area (GTA). Canada is known for its positive welcoming of refugees and immigrants and we invite you to be part of welcoming new people to the community.
In addition, if you are new to the GTA, we can assist you with becoming established in Canada. Please click on the CONTACT page and let us know how we can help you
