For September, we have been advertising the Programs and Services that our foundation supports by writing about the grants that have been provided from the Indigenous & Non-Indigenous Relations Endowment Fund.

For this last week in September, we once again feature the work being done at the Turning Point Youth Centre (TPYC) in Meadow Lake. Turning Point Youth Centre is a faith-based organization that opened in the spring of 2019 and is committed to providing a safe and welcoming space in the community for youth ages 13 – 18. They are helping young people, both indigenous and non-indigenous, grow into the individuals God intends them to be through mentorship and life skills training, along with classes such as art, basic mechanics, hygienics, carpentry, knitting, crocheting, kitchen skills and access to meaningful resources.

This faith-based youth centre has Bible studies once a week and sets up various service projects. TPYC provides meals once a week and a snack table to keep the youth well fed. A laundry room, shower, a resource centre, and a clothing room. Free counselling is available if needed. The centre has a drop-in area with a pool table, foosball, Wii, board games, crafts and computers and a Rec Room offering dodgeball, soccer, floor hockey, lawn games, and movie nights. TPYC is truly a place where youth can spend their free time and grow in life skills. 

The Sask K of C Charitable Foundation is honoured to contribute to this mission and help ensure these youth have a future where they encounter Jesus, discover their gifts, and are supported, encouraged, and shown the love of Christ as they grow into leaders of our Church and communities.
