Who's at the Storefront?
“Who’s at the Storefront” is a guide to what programs are offered by which agency at what time. With so many agencies coming and going changes to programs and services are common. Before coming to the Storefront to access the services of a specific agency, it is best to call our Community Resource Specialists at 416-208-9889.
YOUTH SERVICES
The Youth Facilitator is a bridge between the youth of the community and the services, programs and opportunities available to them.
Many young people drop into Storefront to participate in programs or use the computers, but youth can also access the Youth Facilitator by using methods familiar to them, such as MSN messenger and Facebook.
Youth can contact the Youth Facilitator at storefrontyouthservices@hotmail.com or directly at 416-208-6130.
