Youth Services
For the past 25 years the City of Kitchener has worked to provide all young people in our community with recreation and leisure opportunities regardless of their situation, ability, economic status, and location.

Our goal is to provide leadership, positive role models, fun youth-centered activities that improve young peoples quality of life, increase their chances for achievement and promote healthy relationships.
