Youth

In 1984, following a public consultation held with young people and adults of the neighborhood as the need to create a place of activity and prevention for adolescents has emerged. With a grant from the Department of Health and Human Services and federal funding, the Youth RDP was born a few months later. It therefore constitutes a corporation and became a nonprofit organization. First located in a spacious room entertainment, youth were forced to move to an apartment next 3 ½ rooms cost too high for the first frost and local grants. There was even the number of hosts to decrease from 3 to only 1. However, some services were maintained and new activities appeared, but the Youth RDP was not out of the woods. After four years serving the locals had to readjust the corporation. There was clearly a lack of space and adequate facilities based on the needs of young people. In June 1988, the youth took his luggage and went to the CLSC, which allowed to meet certain requirements in adolescents but at the same time, limit direct contact with the rest of the customers. Two years of valiant efforts as part of a fundraising campaign, allowed the elevation of a premises located in a geographic area to facilitate the work of youth intervention. Surrounded by high school Jean-Grou, Rene Masson Arena, the Recreation Department of the City of Montreal Rene Masson Park and Aquatic Center, the House can develop its prevention work. In July 1990, the arrival of the youth program in 2000 from the City of Montreal assures the presence of two facilitators and an operating budget, to improve our work and leisure to update a mix of youth projects in an approach “by and for young people. “
