Description

Founded in 1983, Maison Jeunes-Est offers an array of services to young people between the ages of 12 to 19, including a safe house and a youth centre. The organization works with about 1200 youth each year.

In 1999, Executive Director of the Regent Park Community Health Centre, Carolyn Acker, began to observe the rapid deterioration of this low income community. The Health Centre’s services and programs expanded to meet the changing needs, yet as they were struggling to meet the needs of the community, the violence began increasing yearly. The community witnessed young men involved in gangs, drug selling, and murders from the use of handguns. The atmosphere in the community was one of despair and hopelessness and the youth involved in these activities were getting younger and younger.

Founded in 2001, Pathways operates in 16 communities across Canada with programs in Ontario, Quebec, Nova Scotia, Manitoba and British Columbia.
