Ongoing Programs
All Genders Group
Wednesdays
Taking a spin on the idea of a traditional “Girl’s Group” and/or “Boys Group”, All Genders is a weekly youth group for gender diverse youth and their allies to come and learn about various topics in a safe and inclusive space. Each Tuesday, participants will meet up and engage in activities and discussions on a wide range of topics, via a 2SLGBTQ+ lens. Throughout the year, the group will also work on 2SLGBTQ+ projects in and around the CNH neighbourhood.

Peer 2 Peer
Peer 2 Peer is a youth-guided program aimed at improving the health and wellness of youth in Renfrew-Collingwood. Through a peer education and mentorship model, participants explore a wide range of health and wellness topics through a social justice lens, and develop the skills needed to share what they have learned with their peers and larger community. We hope to equip youth with the information, resources, support, and tools needed to lead healthy and fulfilling lives.
