Pelletier Youth in Transition helps at risk youth aged 16- 24 make successful progression towards independence. Youth in the child welfare system who age out of care at age 18 face tremendous challenges and become solely responsible for themselves almost overnight. Through support, counselling, outreach and coordination, we empower youth to maximize their potential. In many cases the child welfare system has invested years of care, support and counseling to youth in care. As the system currently operates, we abandon youth at a time when they need us most. Pelletier addresses this major gap in the system to provide a continuum of care to youth who are on the verge of success.

Today, Boys and Girls Clubs of Canada is a leading provider of quality programs to children and youth that support the healthy physical, educational and social development of more than 200,000 young people and their families each year. We are an association of over 100 clubs located in 700 community service locations across Canada. Clubs are where they are most needed, in large city centres, remote rural communities and on First Nations Reserves. In each club location, trained, dedicated staff and volunteers provide children and youth, ranging in age from pre-school to young adulthood, with programs in physical recreation, technology, the arts, personal growth and more. Many clubs also provide meals, family support programs, emergency shelter and other supports to children and youth at risk. Programs are offered primarily during the after-school hours when studies have shown that young people are most vulnerable to victimization and becoming drawn into anti-social behaviours.
