About This Cause
Youth Without Shelter (YWS) has been located in the community of North Etobicoke for over 35 years. It provides a safe refuge for youth ages 16 to 24, who often through circumstances beyond their control, have found themselves without a home to call their own. YWS is a place where a youth's culture and needs are understood and where each youth can receive practical support, guidance, mental health and wellness supports and training through a wrap-around model of programs. This model includes: 33 bed residential program with safe shelter and nutritious food; 20 bed best practice Stay in School Program that supports youth as they strive for their educational goals; Life Skills and Employment Program; stabilizing Housing and After-Care Program; and a Preventative Awareness and Educational Outreach Program. Each youth comes to YWS with their own story and their own needs, and it is the youth voice that guides everything that we do.
