Dunnville Youth Impact Centre is a non profit, charitable organization that provides a safe haven in the downtown core for young people (ages 12-19) through our various supervised programs and activities . Here they can meet with their peers or make new friends, build relationships with staff and volunteers through drop ins or programs such as our partnership with the 4H Club. They can also play a game of pool, table tennis or air hockey, have a nutritious snack and go on day trips outside of the centre. Many of these youth have unstable home lives and some are "couch surfing" at friends homes. They need strong role models, especially men who will come forward and be a mentor to these kids who have so much potential but so little hope for their future. Please help us as we strive to set them on the right path to a meaningful life, to becoming caring compassionate and responsible adults who can in turn, mentor the next generation as they have been mentored.

Through our several different programs, the Elizabeth Fry Society of Calgary provides a large variety of services to the women and men in Calgary and area who are in conflict with the law. We focus many of our services specifically on women, as we recognize that women find themselves in conflict with the law for very different reasons than men and that a very different approach to care and counselling is effective for women than that used for men. Our programs are offered via workshops, legal clinics, legal information and direction at the court house, one-on-one support with legal applications, one-on-one support visits at female incarceration units and post-release individual and group healing programs. On a larger scale we are a part of a national advocacy group that stands for the rights of women in conflict with the law everywhere.
