Who Benefits?

This October 4th event is just one component to a year-long "Allied Health Cares About Youth" fundraising initiative.  All funds raised will be divided among three very deserving local organizations that are committed to helping youth in need. 

Safe Harbour NB

 

Safe Harbour Transitional Youth Services (Safe Harbour) will provide emergency and transitional housing to homeless and at-risk youth.  Safe Harbour is a direct response to the crisis in youth homelessness in southern New Brunswick.  In 2012, 67 youth accessed an adult emergency shelter in Saint John; our community’s experts and key informants – youth workers and educators – estimate that more than 100 youth need transitional housing. 

 

Safe Harbour will ensure that youths’ basic needs are met and will be an integral part of the youth housing continuum.  It will also support youth in accessing the wide range of services available to them in our community. 

Princess Elizabeth School

 

The staff of Princess Elizabeth School believe that the artistic, physical, emotional, social and intellectual needs of children must be met for effective learning to take place. We believe we are responsible to challenge each child to reach his/her potential as a life long learner. Our school strives to provide a safe, supportive environment that promotes responsibility, self-esteem and encourages each child to relate to other persons in a sensitive and respective manner.

Crescent Valley Resource Centre

 

Focusing on the residents of Crescent Valley, the Resource Centre offers educational, social, food security and recreational programming at no charge. Many programs and services are open to residents living outside Crescent Valley.

 

Some programs include: Free Lending Library, Walking Club, Free Clothing Room, Playgroup (for parents and caregivers with children 0 to 5 years), Storytent and Bookwagon, Food Purchasing Club; weekly Drop-in clinic with nurse practitioner, various wellness programs, and summer programs for children.
