I (Volunteer) came to visit the program and never left. Hopestreet has such a sense of family and community that is hard to find. Everyone is equal, loved, and encouraged. We place huge value on kindness, belonging, and supporting one another to become who they truly are. This goes for the volunteers and youth. Being a volunteer has had a profound impact on me shaped a huge part of who I am today." - Sam, age 27 |

I've been at youth for 5 years. I was at the local shops with my brother and saw the community centre open. We went inside and found out there was a youth program. We started to get to know some of the volunteers and kept coming back because it was fun and different. One of my favourite things is seeing all the volunteers interact with the kids and seeing positivity grow." - Joel, age 17
