Our Your S.A.F.E. outreach program works with additional vulnerable youth to identify safe living spaces and provides direction to assist them in regaining control of their lives. Our S.A.F.E. outreach programs serve youth aged 16-29. Since the launch of this program in July 2020,we have served 127 youth, with over 1085 service interactions (referrals, goalsetting, supplies, workshops, etc.), many in the Wasaga Beach area.
Through our outreach services, we supply important items such as tents, sleeping bags, food, hygiene products, grocery gift cards, masks & sanitizers, jackets, hand warmers, clothes, and much more.
The program also provides support and advocacy for mental health, physical health (new family doctor), legal matters, financial aid, rental/tenant advocacy as well as referrals to other housing agencies.
The program has been an incredible success to date. It helps one of our most vulnerable populations to avoid falling through the cracks, providing every individual who come in contact with our outreach worker the chance to feel safe and heard. We work with all marginalized youth regardless of their race, gender, sexual orientation, family situations and socio-economic background.
Our programs are designed to assist youth struggling with social inequalities with tools that will help them to cope and grow stronger to manage and address any bias they face in life.

Sew Savvy: Beach Bag & Apron
2024-07-03 18:00 - 19:45 | Wasaga Beach Public Library, 544 River Road West, Wasaga Beach, ON, L9Z 2P1, Canada
Step-by-step sewing projects for adults. This month make a tote bag perfect for the beach and an apron for BBQ/baking or crafting.

🧵In this month-long session for adults with beginner machine basics, participants will meet weekly on each Wednesday in July to complete two projects: a tote bag adorned with pockets with an inner zipped pouch suitable for the beach; and an apron for BBQ/baking or crafting.
Supplies will be provided and a selection of fabric available, however, if you have some cotton blend materials you prefer to bring you may do so. Both projects could be “patchwork style” or “upcycled” from leftover fabric.
If you prefer to bring your own material you would need to bring approximately 56” in length for the bag and approximately 1 yard or 92” for the apron. Suitable fabrics would be poplin, twill, denim, hopsacking, or lightweight upholstery for the bag.
Participants MUST be able to commit to attending ALL 5 sessions upon registration.
Space is limited to 6 machine borrowers and 2 participants who are able to bring their own machine each week. ! 🪡
