BOYLE STREET SERVICE SOCIETY

Our Mission

From its origins as an inner city outreach unit called the Boyle Street Co-op, we have grown into a multi-service community centre that is accessed by people living in poverty throughout the City of Edmonton. We have a 40+ year reputation for helping people who are disadvantaged to manage the multiple problems they face. Many of our clients are Aboriginal; others are new Canadians. They share the culture of poverty; the stigma of marginalization; and the yearning to enhance their lives.

Boyle Street is committed to a community-based approach that builds on people’s capacities and strengthens communities. We offer a continuum of programs that assist people to meet their basic needs, build social support systems, and exercise their rights and responsibilities as citizens. We provide an entry point for people experiencing cultural, economic, social, emotional and/or physical disadvantages. Boyle Street is a unique place of caring, service and respect.
