ERIN MILLS YOUTH CENTRE

Erin Mills Youth Centre provides recreational and educational programming for young people in Mississauga and the surrounding GTA region. The organization operates youth drop-in programs, sports and fitness activities, arts and cultural workshops, and mentorship services designed to keep teens engaged and connected to their community. Staff work with youth aged 13 to 19 to build life skills, foster peer relationships, and create safe spaces where participants can explore interests ranging from music production to leadership development. The centre serves families across a range of income levels, with particular focus on reaching youth who face barriers to accessing recreation. Programming happens both at their main facility and through outreach into neighborhood schools and community centers, helping young people develop confidence and resilience during their formative years.
