4worldlovers: YOUCAN Youth Services Relentless Outreach Workers stop at nothing — within reasonable measures — to reach out to youth and empower them in making positive, healthy and life changing decisions.


The Verto Project (Verto is Latin for “turn-around” or “change”) is a unique, 21-week pre-employment program that assists youth between the ages of 18-24 transition out of harm’s way and back into school or into the workforce. The programming portion will run over 9 consecutive weeks and successful candidates will earn a living allowance of $15/hr.


The Road to Work Program is a collaboration between YOUCAN Youth Services and companies in the construction, road building, and traffic safety industries. The program will deliver employability workshops and industry focused safety trainings to successful candidates, aged 18-26 years old. This is a paid program with successful candidates earning a $15/hr wage. This program will give participants the tools needed to enter the construction, road building, and traffic safety industries.


At YOUCAN Youth Services we are RELENTLESS in all aspects of our work. We are RELENTLESS with our youth and for our youth. If we can't find them, we will track them down. If they need help in the community, we will advocate for them. We are determined to support our youth, until they are determined to support themselves.

We acknowledge Treaty 6 territory—the traditional and ancestral territory of the Cree, Dene, Blackfoot, Saulteaux and Nakota Sioux. We acknowledge that this territory is home to the Métis Settlements and the Métis Nation of Alberta, Regions 2, 3 and 4 within the historical Northwest Métis Homeland. We acknowledge the many First Nations, Métis and Inuit who have lived in and cared for these lands for generations. We are grateful for the traditional Knowledge Keepers and Elders who are still with us today and those who have gone before us. We make this acknowledgement as an act of reconciliation and gratitude to those whose territory we reside on or are visiting.

The youth we work with have hopes and dreams. They want to live lives that they can be proud of. They want to contribute to our community. They want to have the same opportunities that we have. YOUCAN Youth Services relies upon the support of the community to help youth realize those hopes and dreams. Your support helps with things like food, work clothes, and bus passes to name a few. These “little things” make a huge difference assisting youth as they move out of harms way and start moving towards economic independence. Can you help a YOUCAN Youth Services youth today?

Fred Rogers said "Look for the helpers. You will always find people who are helping."

Helpers are people that support the physical, psychological, intellectual, emotional, or spiritual well-being of others, and they come in all forms. Some helpers are paid professionals and others are in unpaid roles like caregivers, parents, volunteers or friends. Either way, helpers show up with open, empathetic hearts and hold space for people as they go through their struggle.
