Attention Central Alberta… Youth HQ is Launched!

The organization overseeing the Big Brothers and Big Sisters program, the Boys and Girls Club, Camp Alexo, and the 49th Street Youth Shelter has taken a new name. Youth HQ will provide the same services as always, but the new title indicates a desire to provide services, support, and just a place to hang out for even more young Central Albertans than ever before.

Youth HQ provides 47 programs for youth ranging from a regular “dodge ball” get together all the way to in school mentoring and leadership training. This is your place to have fun, meet new friends, learn something new, and be yourself.

During this period, he became fascinated with a burgeoning online world and how it could better serve local communities. This fascination led to Todayville, launched in 2016.
