Mental Health help for ages 12 – 18

Drop-In

The Collingwood Youth Centre is a drop-in centre where you can hang out, meet new people, have fun, learn new skills, find information and get help.

Welcome to the Collingwood Youth Centre

Become The Change

 

Welcome to your after-school and weekend hang-out! The Collingwood Youth Centre is your safe space to socialize with friends and mentors where you will feel included and welcome. The Collingwood Youth Centre is for youth grade 7 to age 18 to meet in a safe, supportive, and fun environment.

At CYC, we’re interested in what you’re interested in. If you want to know more about cooking, computers, drumming, drawing, or whatever you’re into, we’re here to help. We can also help you get a job or start your own business. Even if you just need someone to talk to, this is an inclusive place where you are welcomed and accepted.

Like most youth centres, we always have informal drop-in time but we also offer very cool programs for students to further pursue their passions. As an example, the digital media equipment will be available for use during all open hours and sign out after hours.

We aim to provide programming and activities that are appealing to you. Every week we run regular programs for things like music, tech, art and cooking. Once you learn about the amazing programs, you won’t just come to the CYC to hang out and play video games, you will come to learn how to make your own video games!
