A group of youth-serving agencies in Edmonton started the Coordinated Youth Response to meet an immediate need during the pandemic to better help youth aged 15 – 24. The goal is to connect youth with agencies right away, work together to increase access to services, and to build a network of care.
If your agency would like join this initiative, please contact Centre Hope at info@centrehope.com. Grants have been secured to finance this initiative, and training and support will be provided.

LAND ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
We recognize we are gathered, in collaboration and with joint purpose, on Treaty 6 territory. This territory is the home and gathering place for diverse Indigenous peoples. The Cree, Blackfoot, Métis, Nakota Sioux, Iroquois, Dene, Inuit, and many others. We know the importance of the Treaty and our responsibility to these communities and that only in partnership can we create the social change necessary to end homelessness. It is vital that we meaningfully engage and partner with Indigenous people and communities in this work. It is important to recognize and address the conditions brought forth by colonialism. Displacement from traditional homelands, systemic racism, residential schools, the Sixties Scoop, and the ongoing overrepresentation of Indigenous people in child welfare, correctional systems, and homelessness are responsibilities we all share.
