Youth Connected
A Safe Place for All Youth
Kerr Street Mission is a safe and fun place for youth grade 6 through high school to hang out. All students are warmly welcomed into a community where they will be accepted, encouraged and challenged by our staff, volunteers and their peers.
Whether it is sharing a snack, playing video games, playing in the gym, or just spending time with friends in the lounge, there is always something to do.
Here’s a look at what is happening throughout the week:
Grades 5-8
Mondays | 3 pm – 5 pm
Girls Connected is a program designed to offer girls from grades 5-8 the opportunity to connect, socialize, and build relationships with one another. We help educate them on real life challenges and choices they will face in their day to day as well as in their future. Topics range from body image, self-esteem, building relationships, positive self-image, the issues faced through social media, and mental health challenges. We hope to prepare them to forge a bright and optimistic future as well as giving them the skills to mentor and be positive peer influences and role models with other women in their community.

Mondays & Wednesdays | 3 pm – 6 pm
Our Jr. High drop-in is a program for youth to come and have a great time at KSM. There will be a chance to hang out in our youth room and play games, get some help with homework, and play sports in our gym.
