With the New Year come some exciting changes at Nexus Youth Services. On December 15, 2009, the Square One Youth Centre will be moving to its new location on the second floor of the Mississauga Central Library. Here the Youth Centre will continue its culture of youth engagement under the new name of the Nexus Youth Centre.

After the move the Youth Centre’s phone number will remain the same: (905) 566-1883. Our new mailing address will be:

                                    Nexus Youth Centre

300 City Centre Drive, Second Floor

Mississauga, Ontario

L5B 3C1

We invite you to join us for our grand re-opening on Thursday, January 21st in the Youth Centre’s new location in the Central Library.  As part of the celebration we are having an Open House from 1:00 to 5:00 pm and hope that you will be able to attend.

The Youth Centre, operated by Nexus Youth Services and closely aligned with Peel Children’s Centre, offers drop-in programs and services such as counselling and computer access, as well as formal programs aimed at developing life skills and healthy relationships. The Centre also encourages youth to get involved in their community through volunteering.

In addition to the Youth Centre, Nexus Youth Services continues to offer high quality individual counselling for adolescents and young adults who are experiencing a range of emotional, social and/or behavioural difficulties. We help youth build on their strengths and develop their coping skills so that they can make a smooth transition into adulthood.

Attached you will find the Nexus Youth Centre winter programming calendar that you can use to refer youth to our services. Please feel free to post it in an area that is visible to youth as well as staff who may refer client to our Centre. We have also attached an order form if you would like to order additional copies of this calendar or Nexus brochures.

Thank you for your continued support and partnership. We look forward to strengthening our new relationship with the City of Mississauga and working with organizations like yours to provide high quality services that are inclusive and responsive to the needs and voices of youth.

Sincerely,

Humphrey Mitchell, MSW, RSW
