Housing & Outreach

Nothing is more important than having a safe place to stay.

Trellis’ housing services offer short and long-term programs for young people experiencing homelessness as well as access to counselling, employment support, and life-skill development as they move toward stable independent living.

Youth Group Programming

Youth Group Programming offers a safe, welcoming place for youth to come after school, make friends, and grow.

Activities offered include: 

• Cooking club

• Teen hangout

• Rec nights

• Game and movie nights

• Art classes

• Life skills workshops

• Mental wellness groups

• Homework club & post-secondary prep support

Employment & Education Support

Trellis’ employment services offer a wide variety of supports including workshops that focus on a variety of topics such as resume and cover letter writing, interview preparation, work skills development, and searching for the right job.

Our education programs are aimed at vulnerable youth and those at risk of dropping out of school. In all cases, we focus on staying in school as a means of setting youth up for success.

Settlement Services

We know newcomers face a unique set of challenges, especially young people.

Building Youth Connections helps with referrals, coaching, conversation clubs, and more to create a network of support.
