community involvement
For the past 30 years, Partners For Youth Inc. (PFY) has been dedicated to empowering and supporting youth at risk in New Brunswick. Through innovative programs such as PFY Connect and Youth Works, they provide youth with access to counseling therapy, employment support and guidance, and run summer camps annually on the St. Croix International Waterway.
To ensure the success of their mission, PFY relies on the support of corporate stewards and donors to fund a variety of initiatives and keep their programs running. Corporate sponsors and donors can direct their funds to help support the organization’s programs, as well as make a commitment to long-term support for the youth of New Brunswick.
With their help, PFY can continue to make a real difference in the lives of youth at risk in New Brunswick for years to come. PFY is dedicated to ensuring that all of our youth have the opportunity to shape their own futures.
Partners for Youth was founded in 1994 by the Hon. Jim Ross. Appointed to the Senate of Canada in 1990, Mr. Ross served almost three years before resigning his seat to begin the task of building the organization. His goal was to create a provincial, non-profit, community-based organization tasked with developing pragmatic and effective support programs for youth and youth at risk.
In 2000, Mr. Ross was awarded the Order of Canada for his work in creating PFY. He continues to provide active support and holds the position of Founder and Chairperson Emeritus on our Board of Directors.
