About Us

Youth Centres of Calgary (YCC) sees the potential in every child. At YCC we are committed to giving the youth that come to our Centre a chance to grow and succeed. Our goal is to give every child a chance and to help them reach their full potential through education and community. Community is important to us, and it is even more important that we make sure the children share this belief as well. We make sure to make our centre a part of the community by having community events where all are invited and volunteer at community functions. We believe this centre is an asset to Ogden, as we are creating a safe place for the youth to go after school and enhancing the sense of community. Our Centre is currently taking children in grades 6-10 as this age group needs a safe, supportive environment through the transforming years of their life. Our aim is to educate the youth and help them strive for success. To reach our goals of helping the youth succeed, we are incorporating mental and physical health into our daily activities. The centre is completely free to guarantee that every child, and especially those who need it most can come after school to engage in enriching and educating activities. YCC offers free homework help to deepen the importance of school to the children and to assist them where they are having difficulties. We also offer free sporting programs with a fully equipped sport shack so the children can learn how to be a team player. In addition to homework help and sports we have a fully functioning music room in our newly renovated basement filled with instruments for those who are more inclined to the arts. Our house is staffed with many volunteers who help cook healthy meals for the children, university graduates and students who love working with children, but overall, they all have a passion for helping youth who need it most. We offer more programs than what is listed above, but all in all YCC is a home away from home where children learn life skills and gain the knowledge and understanding to succeed in life.
