New Beginnings Youth Center Hosts Family Day and Calls for Continued Community Support

New Beginnings Youth Development Center, which provides residential, immigration, and psychiatric services for children aged 12-17, celebrated its annual Family Day this morning. The event, part of its summer program, highlighted the center’s commitment to supporting 13 girls and 18 boys through court-ordered placements for behavioural issues or minor offences, with the aid of 30 full-time and 6 part-time staff.

This year’s Family Day was marked by poignant moments as the center supported a minor who recently lost her father while also celebrating another child’s birthday. Despite these emotional highs and lows, the event demonstrated the center’s resilience and dedication to its mission. 

With the children on a two-day break, the center is urging continued national support. New Beginnings remains optimistic and calls for ongoing community involvement to enhance its care and rehabilitation efforts.
