Celebrating 16 years in the Niagara Region, the annual Gala - our Winter Ball is crucial to our funding and awareness in the community.
Youth Resources Niagara is a multifaceted agency that consists of three residential youth homes and several community-based programs. We provide rehabilitative and supportive programs, mentorship, and a safe environment that facilitates personal growth, change, accountability, and responsibility for youth. We endeavor to provide youth with meaningful support, programs, and systems that empower them to overcome obstacles and successfully reach their full potential within a safe and secure community.
This event will begin with a dedicated cocktail hour in the Americana Conference Resort and Spa starting the evening at 6:00 PM. The affair continues where attendees are served a three-course meal followed by a silent auction, to raise funds for next year's mission and vision.
The evening will feature Cottage Brew - a Niagara-based classic rock group that features Canadian content.
Both individual tickets and full tables of 8 are available to purchase.
An 8-bed residential facility for youth who have had involvement in the Youth Criminal Justice System. The program serves youth between the ages of 16-18 who have been involved with the YCJA and are homeless or at risk of homelessness. Many of these clients also present significant risk factors including a history of abuse, mental illness, and addiction issues.
