- The Young Parents Program is a place for parents or pregnant women under the age of 25 to meet and connect with other parents in a friendly, casual, and inviting atmosphere.
- Parents not only get to unwind, but they can share their hopes, fears, and problems with like-minded people in similar situations.
- Parents are offered a wide array of activities to participate in such as art therapy, dance, and cooking. Snacks and lunch are also prepared for everyone.
- Workshops exploring parenting issues, health, wellbeing, and other related topics are held free of charge.
- On the last Friday of every month there is access to free furniture, toys, and clothing. Two bus tickets are given out to each parent at the end of every session.
- Children aged six months to five years are cared for in two separate groups during the parents’ program. The groups are animated, and the children are entertained with age appropriate activities such as arts and crafts, singing, and stories. These groups provide the children with an opportunity to meet new friends and socialize with others their own age.
- Schedule for Mondays (Registration required)
- Time off for Mum is coordinated by the group "Women on the Rise" in collaboration with the YPP. 10.30-3.30: stimulating activities for children age 2-5, hot lunch included for $2.
