Connecting potential to possibilities
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, and cultivating their autonomy, confidence, and well-being.
Our Approach
At Avenues, we facilitate connectedness between youth and community organizations that specialize in well-being, education and employment.
We nurture meaningful relationships founded in care and trust in order to develop individualized, strength-based roadmaps of opportunities.
