Youth Services is dedicated to creating opportunities for young people to engage in social and recreational activities. Our programs are focused on getting youth active, promoting positive community engagement and encouraging healthy decision-making while providing a safe and positive environment.

Youth are invited to participate in the following areas:

Social and Recreational Programming

Drop-In Gyms, the School Yard – Youth Action Park and the Whonnock Outreach provides great opportunities for youth to get physically active in a social environment.

Youth Outreach Initiative (YOI)

We thought the best way to ensure our programming engages youth, they should have a say in what is offered. Through the Maple Ridge and Pitt Meadows Youth Councils, M2AD, and Women in Action, the YOI puts the control of developing and planning experiential activities in the hand of youth themselves.

Leadership Programs

Youth have huge potential to make a positive difference in their community. Through the Youth Futures Leadership Development Program, Babysitter Training, and Work Experience Opportunities, we are encouraging youth to foster the leader within through experiential activities and opportunities.
