Youturn, Ottawa, ON

Youturn provides intensive services and supports to youth in conflict with the law, and their families. Our goal is to help our clients shift to active participation in society — and make choices that will help them remain in the community, avoid future conflict with the law and succeed in their lives. Through four core programs, we deliver counselling, education and training, clinical treatment and a range of additional supports — all focused on helping youth and families build on their strengths, develop their personal competencies and set out on a path to a productive life. Operating since 1989, Youturn is a non-profit transfer-payment agency funded by the Ontario Ministry of Children and Youth Services, Youth Justice Branch. We are also a registered charity.
