FOUNDATION invests in the lives of every young person in Millbourne by providing holistic care, mentoring relationships, a safe community to belong to, and opportunities to explore their POTENTIAL and discover HOPE.
We believe that when young people are allowed to explore their own unique potential, they will discover hope - hope for a positive FUTURE for themselves and their communities.

OUR IMPACT
How will the Foundation Youth Centre help the community?
The most important thing to note is that our Centre is more than just a building. It is so much more than that. It is much more than the proverbial saying from Field of Dreams “build it and they will come.” This is about flooding a community with the light. The building is just a conduit for that light.
-
We create a productive and positive environment for young people to be involved with from the time they are 12-18.
-
We will be partnering with many local organizations who already have a vested interest in the lives of these young people so that together we can maximize their potential for them to be all that God has created them to be.
-
We will work with the families of these youth to become a resource to them and help assist them in any way that we can.
-
We will teach the gospel in relevant ways.
-
We will help lift some of the burdens of poverty that exist in this community by offering programs and activities that many of these students would never have a chance to take part in.
-
We will create a safe place for any young person to come and just be.
-
We will create an environment for young people to explore faith without judgement or pressure.
-
We will offer hope by surrounding students with a loving team of supporting young adult mentors. Our youth will always have someone to talk to.
-
They will have the opportunity to unleash their creative genius!
-
We will promote healthy activity by encouraging physical activity.
