We strive to provide a place for youth to feel part of a positive community where they can meet up with their friends or make new ones. The teen years can go by quickly and we want to help students make the most of them.
We provide weekly programs filled with fun, food, adventures and group discussion, completely focused on the youth. We also create opportunities for the youth to give back to the communities around them, using their gifts and talents and developing leadership skills.
in ‘The Foundation’ Youth Lounge (basement of the church office building). Our time together begins with a chill, ‘hang out’ time with snacks and youth playing games, video games, being crafty or even finishing off homework. We then move into a community dinner, that youth will sometimes have opportunities to prepare. All followed up by the chance to get into groups for discussion and learning. To top off the night – we finish with a super fun activity or event.
On the last Wednesday of the month, our time after dinner is completely devoted to fun-filled antics and a perfect night to relax, chill out and have great community time.
Lakeside partners closely with our local Youth Unlimited chapter and their programs, including lunch drop-ins, gym nights, student and school support, and their “Bridge” drop in centre. More information about Kyle and Leanne and everything they do at their website below.
