CP Youth Centre

OUR HISTORY

The CP Youth Centre (formerly known as Carleton Place CORE Youth Services) was established in 1995 in partnership with local police and business owners, as a preventative measure to combat crime and substance abuse among young people in town. We are governed by a volunteer Board of Directors, who developed a new Strategic Plan and direction for the centre. Our programs and services have expanded to better meet the needs of kids and youth in our community.   
Mission 
To inspire, engage and celebrate youth through social, educational recreational activities and community participation encouraging a youth base invested in their local community.
Vision

We will accomplish our mission through collaboration with the community and youth, developing partnerships to facilitate fun and diverse programs and opportunities that increase youth involvement, community attachment, healthy outlooks and provide optimistic outcomes.
Values
