Youville Centre
Philosophy
Youville Centre provides an environment in which staff,
volunteers and peers serve as a support system and as role models
to facilitate the growth of young parents and their children in
self worth, self confidence, and in the skills required to become
positive, productive members of society.
- We recognize and believe in the worth of every individual
regardless of race, religion, or culture.
- We believe all individuals have a responsibility to
assist others.
- We recognize with respect and compassionate concern the
special needs of young mothers who choose life with their
children and we respond to the lack of social and moral
resources available to these mothers.

CND Presence
Three CND sisters, a CND novice and a CND associate are part
of the life at Youville Centre. As liberating
educators, they have a special concern for the liberation of
women, support families, and strive to help young people become
builders of their own future.
