Youth Without Shelter, commonly known as ‘YWS –’ is a charity offering shelter and support for youth facing homelessness in the GTA. Since our founding in 1986, when a group of teachers came together to create a safe place for youth after seeing the need within their classrooms, they have been providing client-focused services in a non-judgmental environment for youth aged 16 – 24. Located in North Etobicoke, YWS is a house where a youth’s culture and needs are understood, and where each youth can receive shelter, one-on-one guidance, mental health and wellness supports, and training, through their wrap-around model of programming.
