For Meg Syms, the New Dawn Youth & Family Centre is not just a building.
It is the future home of Undercurrent Youth Society, where children and youth in Glace Bay already find food, friendship, mentorship, movement, and people who know them by name.
As Director of Programming at Undercurrent, Meg sees every day what can happen when a young person has somewhere to go, and a reason to come back.
“What excites me most isn’t the building. It’s what the building will make possible.”
The new centre is being built in Glace Bay right now. It will create more ways in for children, youth, and families, through a skate park, gymnasium, daycare, cafeteria, sensory room, and youth programming.
For some kids, the skate park will be the reason they walk through the door.
For some families, it will be daycare, a meal, or a quiet place where their child can reset and stay.
And once they are inside, something else becomes possible.
They can be known.
They can be supported.
They can belong.
Please make a gift today to the New Dawn Youth & Family Centre Campaign and help build a place where more kids in Glace Bay can come in, stay, and belong.
