Your partnership helps us break barriers for young people in Strathcona County
Every day, children and youth in Strathcona County walk through the doors of BGC Strathcona County looking for connection, support, encouragement, and a safe place to belong. BGC is a program provider. But for many families, we’re also a community hub and a vital resource. We are a place where young people can access mentorship, healthy relationships, nutritious meals, recreation, life skills, and opportunities to grow into confident, resilient individuals.
Through affordable, accessible programs, we work to break down barriers that prevent children and youth from reaching their full potential. We create safe spaces where young people feel seen and valued, while giving families access to resources and community connections that strengthen overall well-being.
As the needs of our community continue to grow, so does the need for strong local partnerships. We are proud to work alongside businesses, organizations, sponsors, and community supporters who believe in investing in Strathcona County’s future. Together, we can create meaningful opportunities for children and youth while building a stronger, more connected community for everyone.
