🌟Happy International Youth Day!🌟

Today, we celebrate the strength, creativity, resilience, and potential of young people in our community and around the world.

At Shelterlink, we believe every young person deserves to feel safe, supported, heard, and hopeful about their future. 💙

We’re proud to stand alongside youth in Perth County as they work toward safe housing, stability, and independence.

We are looking for DVDs! We don't have cable or any streaming services at the shelter. On rainy days and cozy nights we rely on DVDs. We would love any of your old DVDs. Youth here at Shelterlink are looking for action, comedies and WW1 and WW2 themed movies.

Feeling the excitement for the long weekend!

Wow! What a difference one day can make. In just 24 hours we have had one youth successfully diverted from shelter, one youth who was reunited with family and one youth who signed a lease on their first apartment!

Not all days are good ones. Some are hard, frustrating, and exhausting but days like this make it all worth it.

We wish these youth a hopeful and successful future. We will continue to work them in our post-shelter program and ensure they remain housed and safe.

We can't wait to see what your future holds for you.

They are generously donating $4 from every sale to Shelterlink Youth Services. Thank you Cassandra and Ivy!

🌡️ When temperatures soar, so do the risks for people experiencing homelessness.

Extreme heat isn't just uncomfortable- it can be life-threatening. Without a safe, cool place to escape the heat, many people face dehydration, heat exhaustion, heat stroke, and worsening physical and mental health conditions.

Here's how you can help:
💧 Offer a bottle of water.
🧢 Donate summer essentials like sunscreen, hats, and reusable water bottles.
❄️ Support local organizations providing shelter, cooling spaces, and outreach services.
❤️ Show compassion-everyone deserves safety, dignity, and relief from the heat.

At Shelterlink Youth Services, we're committed to ensuring youth have a safe place to go, no matter the weather. Together, we can help protect our community's most vulnerable during the hottest days of the year.
