The Refuge Youth Outreach Centre

The Refuge works with homeless, street, at-risk and struggling youth in the Region of Durham.  Each year we welcome between 425-500 different youth who come over 10,000 times.  The Refuge provides breakfast, lunch and dinners, laundry facilities, access to clothing and personal hygiene products and other life-impacting programs but at the core The Refuge seeks to be a place where youth are loved, nurtured, encouraged, safe and belong....a place where they can call home....a place to heal from their pasts.
