Using a strength-based approach, Jeunesse Loyola inspires belonging and growth in the youth of NDG, their families and their communities through social, recreational and educational programming, delivered in a safe and inclusive environment.

Started in the early 1950s as a grassroots organization, the Jeunesse Loyola was formalized in 1998 as a charitable non-profit organization with a primary focus on children (4-17) of the surrounding community. The organization consists of volunteer parents and community members, who reflect the common shared goals and aspirations to provide quality programs. We run programs that allow participants to develop skills such as cooperation, leadership, independent thinking, and healthy interpersonal relationships.

Over the years Jeunesse Loyola has offered sports and recreation services, as well as played an integral role in the continued positive development of the community that surrounds us. Working with other community partners, Jeunesse Loyola seeks to ensure a good quality of life and access to resources for its member families.
