Meeting youth where they’re at.
Our Aboriginal Outreach Team supports Indigenous youth ages 12 to 18 through street outreach and one-to-one connection. Building safe, trusting relationships is at the heart of everything we do, so youth know they always have someone to turn to.
We meet youth where they’re at — whether that means helping with immediate needs, or connecting them with programs and services at UNYA and in the community when they’re ready.
How We Can Support You
Basics when you need them — bus tickets, water, snacks, toiletries, and supplies for cold or wet weather
Someone on your side — trauma-informed support and advocacy when meeting with health providers, probation officers, or others on your care team
One-to-one connection — help with daily activities, or joining ceremonies and community events together
Staying safer — harm reduction info, clean supplies, and free naloxone kits
Finding the right resources — info and referrals to other programs and services for youth, families, and caregiversst text. Normal text
How to Connect with Outreach
It’s okay to reach out — we’re here to listen, support, and walk alongside you, never to judge.
If you’re 12–18 and want support, you can reach us anytime. You can also ask a family member, guardian, or community worker to connect with us for you.

“Our job is really diverse — from meeting youth where they’re at and connecting with them in their own spaces, to helping out whenever and wherever we can. We approach everything with no judgment.”
