The Youth Space
The Youth Space is a safe, sober, and inclusive space where people ages 10-24 can learn new skills, make new friends, and get support in Bakerview Park for free!
All our activities and events are run by peers of the Youth Space in the community, based on their own passions and interests. There are also opportunities to get connected to a youth worker, counselling, mental health supports, harm reduction supplies, or job search resources.
The Youth Space runs five days a week, offering job, life, art and leadership skills by youth for youth. There are different activities planned every day and each month features regular programs and special events such as outdoor games, open mic nights and karaoke, baking and cooking, 2SLGBTQI+ social groups, and a social skills building group for youth ages 10-13. The program adapts and changes according to the needs, abilities and interests of the youth that visit the space.

Youth Participant Volunteer Opportunities
At the Youth Space, youth participant volunteers have the opportunity to share their ideas of what they would like to do and how they would like to be involved while leveraging Alex House’s support.
Thank you for your interest in volunteering with us! We are currently updating our volunteer program to improve the experience for all participants.
As a result, we are not accepting new volunteer applications at this time. This pause will allow us to address our current list of volunteer requests and roll out a new orientation package to enhance your onboarding success.
We anticipate reopening applications in the new year and look forward to welcoming new volunteers. We appreciate your understanding and patience as we work to make these improvements.
Please check back with us in early 2025 for updates on when applications will resume.
Thank you again for your interest in making a difference with us!
