The Need
Strengthening the social, physical and emotional health of our children and youth is a vital element in building a healthy, caring and progressive community.
The days of social service agencies working in isolation are over. The Dow Centre for Youth will co-ordinate an unprecedented collaboration of agencies under one roof that will provide a wide range of services to as many children and youth as possible.
The new Dow Centre for Youth will address many of the “quality of life” issues that youth and their families face on a daily basis. These needs are addressed through programs and services that will be facility-centered and community-based. By collaborating with other agencies dedicated to youth, the Centre will offer programs targeting specific needs, reducing duplication of services and ensuring no child falls through the cracks.
