Providing Life-Changing Opportunities for Youth

 

We are an Edmonton Not-For-Profit, Registered Charity

For over 30 years the Inner City Youth Engagement Program and Inner City High School, under the umbrella of the Inner City Youth Development Association, have provided life-changing opportunities to Edmonton’s marginalized Indigenous and other urban youth, allowing them to leave the desperation of the street and build more productive lives. Most youths in our programs struggle to overcome the impact of intergenerational trauma, which often includes a negative school history, contact with the justice system, involvement with the childcare system, and extreme poverty. Our Youth Engagement Program reaches youth at the street level, providing needed support that bridges them to an eventual high school diploma. Our unique approach allows us to work with youth in a more holistic way, assisting them in creating their path towards their goals and a brighter future.

Community Roots 

We've been helping Edmonton's youth at risk for well over 25 years. The wrap around nature of our programing and the power of arts and education make it possible for people who have not had a lot of experience with success to succeed.

Donations

We accept one-time and monthly online donations from individuals, groups and corporations. Securities and Mutual Funds can also be donated. We are grateful for any donation, large or small. Every dollar counts, and we make them count. 

 

Thank You

Without the support of our donors, Inner City would not be such a positive force throughout the Edmonton community. We offer a sincere thanks for the role donors have played in enriching the lives of our youth.
