The Core Youth Centre – Youth Drop-In and Programming
The Youth Centre provides a safe, welcoming and supportive space for youth in grades 6-12 at The Core – a three story heritage building in the heart of Ganges close to schools. The space hosts recreation, computers, video games, internet access, a big screen TV, affordable and healthy food, as well as regularly scheduled programming.
Programming is led by a Youth Programs Coordinator for the Drop-In, including such activities as teen photography challenges, monthly and DIY meals, kitchen safety education, chess club, basketball contests, annual PRIDE parties and Comic-Cons, and more!

These toolkits were initiated and developed by Salt Spring Island Community Services to help parents, caregivers and professionals, like teachers and healthcare providers, reach out to children and youth who may be at risk for suicide on Salt Spring Island as well as for youth themselves.
