This year, Porchfest participants and spectators are raising money for Jeunesse Loyola, a vibrant, inclusive youth and teen community centre in western NDG. They offer French immersion After-School Programming for kids aged 6-12, a Teen Drop-In Program, an Open Gym, and a weekend Cooking Program. In the spirit of accessibility, all of their programs are entirely free! And if that's not enough, during the summer months, they also offer a free summer camp where youth can have fun and young adults can develop leadership skills.
Jeunesse Loyola a pour mission d'inspirer un sentiment d'appartenance et de communauté chez les jeunes de NDG et leurs familles. En utilisant une approche basée sur les forces, ils offrent une programmation sociale, récréative et éducative dans un environnement sécuritaire et inclusif.
