St. John's Youth Justice Committee

Supported by Canadian Heritage, the YMCA Summer Work Student Exchange is a national six-week work and language exchange program providing 16-17 year old youth with the opportunity to improve their second official language skills, gain employment experience through a paid work placement and participate in cultural activities on the weekends. Youth from Northeast Avalon participate in Quebec, work at a non-profit and live with a host family while a group of youth will come to complete the exchange in Northeast Avalon. As the exchange is reciprocal, hosts are required in Northeast Avalon for incoming Quebec youth so that Northeast Avalon youth can go. We are currently accepting applications for participants/hosts families in Northeast Avalon. Complete an online application for a participant/parent or alternate host family at www.summer-work.com Questions? Contact Meghann Crawford at 902-422-2879

The Royal Canadian Legion serves Veterans, including serving military and RCMP members and their families, to promote Remembrance, and to serve our community and our country.

Saint Luke’s Community Living is owned and operated by Anglican Homes Incorporated, a not-for-profit organization. Through our four locations in the Waterford Valley of St. John’s – Saint Luke’s Long Term Care Home, the Cottages, Bishop Meaden Manor, and Babb Manor – we strive to provide a long-term continuum of care to meet the individual needs of seniors and their families. In addition to live in services, St. Luke’s also provide an Adult Day Program. The Adult Day Program is the only regional program of its kind. It provides social/recreational programming for seniors living in the community who have limited access to such resources due to physical, cognitive or social barriers. A key aspect to the provision of these services is access to bussing services. The current bus has reached the end of it’s service life and we have started our fund raising campaign “We Don’t Want to Make a Fuss – We Just Want a New Bus”.
