Why Not City Missions

Why Not City Missions (WNCM) has been actively reaching the at-risk youth and the homeless population since 2002. Founded by Charlie and Sue Kopczyk, the Mission's first program is still providing food and clothing for those in need. WNCM addresses the challenge of young people engaging in destructive behaviour and suffering from personal struggles such as drug and alcohol addictions, homelessness, poverty, violence and poor self-esteem by cultivating meaningful relationships with the at-risk youth who come through our doors. Why Not offers programs that foster social development, personal growth and empowerment of homeless and at-risk youth. We provide instructional opportunities to develop crucial life, job-readiness and communication skills. At the Youth Centre we offer constructive programs that strengthen their social skills while building a greater self-esteem and self-worth allowing them to achieve stability in their lives and learning to become productive members of the community.
