PAST EVENT
Threshold exists to serve youth from across Vancouver Island through a program towards independence. Providing programming, housing, positive role models and constructive support that helps youth in our community navigate the challenges of school, work, relationships and life. Many of these young people just need someone to believe in them.
Our mandate is to provide a transitional housing program for youth at risk of homelessness. Our program offers stability for school completion, work training, and employment. To augment the experience of being safely housed, Threshold also provides an innovative foundation skills programming and transitional planning to connect youth with community resources to assist them in achieving their goals.
