Service Overview
Provincial Youth Outreach Workers across Ottawa are here to reach out and help youth between the ages of 12-24 find and connect with helpful programs and services.
Meeting / Outreach
We meet youth through outreach in a variety of settings and locations such as neighbourhoods, community centres, parks, schools, on the street, online through social media and by referrals from parents and service providers.
Identify and tailor needs
Once we form a connection with youth, we work to establish their strength and areas that need support. With input from the youth, we develop an individualized plan to help.
Breaking barriers
We work with each youth to determine the appropriate services, programs and resources they might need and help reduce any barriers that they might be facing in order to increase the chances for a successful outcome.

BGC Ottawa acknowledges that our work spans many Territories and Treaty areas and we are grateful for the traditional Knowledge Keepers Elders who are with us today, those who have gone before us and the youth that continuously inspire us in the work that we do. BGC Ottawa's mission statement is to provide safe, supportive places where children and youth can experience new opportunities, overcome barriers, build positive relationships, and develop confidence and skills for life. We recognize that these values are impossible to attain without the ongoing guidance and partnerships with Indigenous peoples.
