Prince Albert is home to a new youth drop-in centre from a partnership between the provincial government, the Prince Albert Youth Advisory Team and Prince Albert Outreach.
A government news release says the Ministry of Social Service will provide $135,000 this year and over $196,000 in annualized funding to support the drop-in centre.
This funding comes from the additional $500,000 in new funding in the provincial budget to increase supports for youth transitioning from care, to access housing, employment and educational opportunities.
The drop-in centre at the Gateway Mall is a safe space for young people 12 and up, which offers a variety of community social services, including cultural, educational, training and health programs.

There are three Youth Advisory Teams in the province, providing guidance to the Ministry of Social Services to develop a comprehensive Youth Engagement Strategy led by local youth coordinators and supported by community partners in each region.
In P.A., it’s Prince Albert Outreach, in Regina, it’s the John Howard Society and in Saskatoon, it’s EGADZ.
