Empower Simcoe made the difficult but necessary decision to place our Youth Programming on hold at the start of the Covid-19 pandemic. We have remained in closure throughout lockdowns and stay at home orders in order to keep youth, their families, staff and volunteers safe. We have been busy behind the scenes getting ready to once again offer engaging and dynamic supports to youth in our community. Keep an eye on your inbox, and check back for more information soon!
Youth Programs
The Youth Program is an inclusive program for all high school aged youth living in Barrie, Orillia and surrounding areas.
The Programs offered include weekly drop-in programs in Barrie (W.E.B.) and Orillia (Get O.U.T) during the school year, a Youth Retreat each March Break and 8 weeks of summer skill building sessions (Youth In Action). All programs promote inclusion and offer opportunities for high school age youth to learn skills while accessing their home community.
