Avenues is a Montreal-based non-profit organization that helps youth out of high school explore their opportunities using individualized, strength-based roadmaps and fostering lasting relationships with community organizations. Programming is centered on addressing the unique needs, values and strengths of each participant in the areas of well-being, education, and employment. Participation is voluntary and open to youth aged 17 to 35, not actively enrolled in secondary school, and residing in Montreal or the greater Montreal area.
Mission
Avenues empowers out-of-high school youth with diverse aspirations by accompanying them through the process of discovering and connecting with Montreal’s rich community resources, cultivating their autonomy, confidence, and well-being.
Vision
Every youth, without exception, deserves access to services centered on care and community.
