15 Nov Give the Gift of Service and Connection This Giving Season
Support Our Giving Season Campaign to Teach Generosity, and Build a Brighter Calgary.
As we celebrate National Philanthropy Day and launch our annual Giving Season campaign, we invite you to support a healthier, more connected future for Calgary’s youth. At Youth Central, we believe that serving your community teaches youth the true meaning of generosity and helps them step away from screens and engage in hands-on activities.
Why Youth Central Matters
Did you know Canadian teens spend an average of 7 to 8 hours a day on their devices? While technology plays a big role in our lives, excessive screen time can lead to issues like poor sleep, decreased physical activity, and social isolation. At Youth Central, we provide an alternative: programs that detach teens from their devices and connect them with their communities through volunteer projects.
By participating in activities like street festivals, food banks, and garden builds, our volunteers gain more than just a break from screens—they build friendships, boost their confidence, and learn valuable life skills.
Your Impact
When you support Youth Central, your contribution helps us create enriching, real-world experiences for young people, including:
- Active, Engaging Projects: From building garden beds to painting murals or supporting local events, our projects get teens moving and involved.
- Social Connections: Volunteering reduces feelings of isolation and helps youth build lasting friendships with their peers and community members.
- Essential Life Skills: Teens develop communication, teamwork, and problem-solving skills that will serve them well in school, work, and life.
Join Us in Shaping Tomorrow’s Leaders
Whether you’re a parent seeing the benefits of volunteering in your own child, a past donor, or a community partner, your support is crucial in helping us provide these life-changing experiences. Together, we can empower Calgary’s youth to grow into compassionate, skilled leaders who give back to their communities.
Even a small donation makes a big difference—just $10 helps restock a first aid kit, ensuring our projects are safe and well-supported. Your gift will help youth discover the joy of service, build meaningful connections, and step away from screens to engage with the world around them.
