Martensville Youth Connection
Community Collaboration
Martensville Youth Connection is a program dedicated to providing barrier-free mental health support to youth. MYC started at Clear-cut Coffee House in the Summer of 2021. We expanded into Forged Gym and quickly outgrew our space, so we are now mobile in the community.

· From 5:30-7:00 pm We will have planned activities, and time after classes for youth to reach out for additional support if needed.
Free Individual Counselling
- Thanks to the Kinsmen Club of Martensville a Registered Social worker is available to provide one on one counselling for youth that don't have insurance coverage.
- Contact Katie to inquire about accessing this counselling
Community Connections
- Our staff will also complete recommendations or referrals to other agencies and resources as necessary, to further support the youths’ mental wellness and set them up for success. This could include: medical visit recommendations, mental health counselling, addiction treatment programs, or sports and athletic programs.
- Leveraging our network in the business community, we will connect youth that show responsibility and readiness for the workforce with local businesses looking for student workers or volunteers.
