Youth Education Support (YES)

Youth are supported in maintaining or transitioning back into school with a comprehensive program that assists in academic achievement, personal development, and recreation as well as developing family and community supports.

Youth Education Support is a program of our Youth Resource Centre (YRC), which is a one-stop shop for youth and their families who want a helping hand to connect with each other and/or the community.

Who We Help

Youth ages 12 to 18 in Abbotsford School District who don’t already have other supports in place
The current focus is on youth in middle school and supporting them in transitioning into high school

To Access Youth Education Support

Youth need a referral to the Youth Resource Centre and it’s best to go through the school.
Decisions about program admission are made by a committee that consists of representatives from the School District, the Ministry of Children & Family Development, and the Youth Resource Centre. This committee meets monthly.
Once a decision is made you will be informed either by the school representative or by the Youth Resource Centre intake worker.
There is usually a waitlist for the program.
