Pennylane
Penny Lane is a short-term program that supports homeless, at-risk youth, ages 13 to 18 years, in making more positive choices and a healthy lifestyle. A transitional residential program, Penny Lane is a safe, stable home environment meeting the basic needs of the youth. Penny Lane also works to provide life skills and appropriate referrals while supporting and working with the youth in developing a plan to address their issues while working with other community resources in the youth's best interests.

Okanagan Boys and Girls Clubs Westside Youth Centre
Our drop-in programs offer inclusive, supportive, non-judgmental and safe spaces for youth up to age 19 during daytime hours. Knowledgeable and caring staff provide engagement, support, mentoring and positive relationships. Youth can access basic needs including meals, access to showers, laundry, daytime shelter, hygiene and clothing. Drop-ins offer recreation as well as programming and life skills development. Our belief is that if it's good for young people, let's do it; making our services and support responsive, adaptable and diverse. Young people have a lot of input into their services and can even step up to be peer supports in our drop-in.
