It is highly visible and accessible. The space provides a safe non-discriminatory environment, dedicated to providing opportunities for the young people of St. James Town.

Socially disadvantaged communities have and will be victimized in a number of ways. The most troubling being the children, who live in an environment of poverty, violence, gangs and welfare dependency.

NYA serves to enhance student participation and success in education, career development and community leadership, enabling youth to become full participants in the ongoing development of Canada’s north. As a result of 14 years of operations we have more than 250 alumni and have seen success in increasing high school graduation rates and helping to build a skilled and well-educated northern workforce. NYA's model of education through work and travel operates as separate, but related, 10 month long programs. In the Canadian Program participants spend 5 weeks living with a host family and volunteering at a work placement in southern Canada. In the second phase, the International Program, participants train at Algonguin College in the construction trades before travelling to Guatemala for 3 weeks to work on a charitable building project. Along with the opportunity to travel and gain new skills through volunteer work placements, youth are able to earn up to 18 high school credits.

Scouting has an important role in the lives of today’s youth. Scouting promotes the importance of values such as integrity, honesty, responsibility, patriotism, courtesy, perseverance, cooperation, tolerance, teamwork, leadership and respect for community, nature and spirituality. In the 2008-2009 Scouting year, for the first time in a quarter of a century, membership in Scouting across Canada has increased. We are working hard so that more youth have the opportunity to benefit from a Scouting experience. As the organization grows, more and more youth in need of financial assistance are identified.

The CPFQ Child Sponsorship Program is designed to build bridges between the Canadian community and Palestinian children living under occupation or in refugee camps. Children enrolled in our program live under conditions of extreme poverty and unemployment. Many of them live in densely populated refugee camps. A suitable infrastructure is absent, seriously threatening the physical and mental health of residents. Many children suffer from serious health problems and disabilities. Due to financial hardship, many have to leave school at a very young age to help support their families. The severe restrictions on employment and movement make the future of these children very bleak. In addition to providing much needed financial assistance, the program helps maintain stable and rewarding relationships between each child and their sponsor. This simple message of hope can offset some of the effects of the chaotic and insecure conditions in which they live.
