YOU Turns

Working together to connect children and youth to whom and what they need for success in both school and life, things are improving.

How We Are Igniting Potential

Relationships: Connecting Youth to Caring Adults

One of our most innovative ways of connecting youth to the supports and services they need is through our Strategic Coordinators. They are constant, positive adults in the lives of our youth and they are links to other caring partners.

Positive Activities & Services

Youth are realizing their potential through innovative activities such as Summer Transition Programs, School Supports, Safe Spaces, and the Youth Mental Health Summit. These events are inspiring youth to be more than they can be and to aspire to a better future for themselves.

Services and Programs Providing Skills for School and Life

Now that youth have realized their potential, we are connecting them to places in their communities where they can acquire skills to achieve their goals. These spaces include Raising the Grade, Outdoor Grit, The Chase, The Atlantic Wellness Centre and Youth Impact.

WHAT WE BELIEVE

Our Values

Working collaboratively with Government, Community Partners and YOU Turns Strategic Coordinators, we all believe that:

Success and hope are different for everyone
Youth need authentic, trusting relationships that are caring and motivating
Youth need to be empowered to play valuable roles
Youth are partners in understanding, building and transforming culture.

What if...

Imagine what it would mean for our region if all our children could reach their full potential. If we as adults wanted them to be all that they can be!

Do you believe that success and hope look different for everyone?
