Program Description
Maple Tree’s Youth Work Program understands that youth who have experienced involvement with Children’s Services are often disconnected from their families, peers, culture, and communities. Our Youth Workers collaborate with Children’s Services, other agencies and stakeholders to engage with youth, encouraging them to enrich their relationships, grow their support network, and connect with their communities, thereby enhancing their sense on belonging and attachment. Through healthy relationships, mentoring, and relentless support, Maple Tree Youth Workers facilitate opportunities for youth to increase their capacity and build life skills necessary for a successful transition to adulthood. For some youth, this may include education, employment, volunteerism, money management, or accessing affordable housing.
