Mission Statement
Mission: Partnering with youth to create inclusive community where all are welcomed, valued and respected. Vision: Youth are empowered to discover their worth, enabling them to grow and thrive in their communities.
About This Cause
The Dam partners with youth 13-19 years old to build inclusive community. Through drop-in programs, development programs, outreach, speaking and mentoring The Dam helps empower youth to know their own worth, increase their capacity for healthy relationships, experience increased social support and improve their life skills. Many youth coming to The Dam come from pretty difficult places. 33% of our youth completing the most recent youth survey report being 2SLGBTQ and 67% report being BIPOC (Black Indigenous and Persons of Colour). We know these two groups experience multiple barriers to success. The Dam is intervening in these youth’s stories to help them write a new present and future not dictated by the pain that may be in their past.
