Programs
Our vision is to see every child grow up to become a contributing citizen, and our programs are developed to support that cause.
Drop-In Centre
The Drop-In Centre is a “home away from home” environment for youth that provides activities, support, snacks and supper.
Residential
EGADZ offers a wide variety of residential programs that ensure youth have a safe place to live while supporting their needs.
Outreach Services
We meet youth where they are, including providing emergency services to youth on the streets and helping runaways.
DAY & SCHOOL SUPPORT
These programs provide education support for youth involved with the justice system or at risk of becoming involved.
FIRST AVENUE CAMPUS
First Avenue Campus provides youth with access to education right at EGADZ with a full-time teacher and support worker.
Employment in the community
The youth we support are actively engaged in making our community a better place to live through the employment programs we offer.
