Our Three Main Areas of Service:

Housing ...for youth and single moms

  • We provide apartments (14 basement suites) for youth (under 19) who are in Government care.
  • There is someone living in their own suite upstairs (an overseer) who is there for the youth in case of emergency.
  • Each youth has an Aunt Leah’s staff person (a Support Worker) who helps them with a variety of needs, including job and lifeskills training.
  • We also provide housing for single adult mothers, who need help meeting their own and their babies needs.

Job Training ...for work in restaurants and cafes

  • We help with preparing resumes, learning interview skills and finding jobs.
  • We also teach job skills for finding employment in restaurants and cafes.

Lifeskills Training ...basic life management skills

  • Everything you would need to teach your child to prepare them for living on their own.
  • Such as: banking & budgeting, health care, laundry, cleaning, shopping & cooking.
