| Description and Services | |
| Description (Service) | COVID-19 (23 Apr 2020) Currently, our emergency shelter and two transition homes are under self-isolation. All residents have their own rooms to practice social distancing and we are providing everything for 15 youth. Unfortunately, we cannot intake any youth until further notice. We encourage you to reach out regardless, as our counsellors can help problem-solve and refer you to other services. Counsellors can be reached via email at transitions@kingstonyouthshelter.com. We are working to get our phone lines connected at the new location and we will let you know when they are up and running. This information is regularly updated on their Facebook page. Two transitions homes: one for 16-24 yrs old (5 bedrooms) and another for 16-19 yrs old (6 bedrooms) * participants work with youth counsellors on accessing school, work or volunteer opportunities through the day * during the evening, youth learn transferable life skills such as cooking, cleaning, budgeting and overall health and well-being * affordable and inclusive program fee for a fully furnished room* participants buy their own groceries |
