Welcome to Youth Connections, where we’re all about creating safe, welcoming spaces for Nanaimo’s youth to connect with their community and peers.
As part of the “Nanaimo Youth Resilience Strategy,” we offer a range of opportunities designed to help young newcomers and locals build resilience and foster a sense of belonging.
Looking for a supportive community where you can connect with peers, share experiences, and enjoy fun activities? Look no further! Youth Connections is here to provide you with a safe and welcoming space to thrive.
Celebrate the creativity and talent of young new artists in our community!
Join us on opening night for this exciting art exhibition hosted by the Nanaimo Harbourfront Library! An exhibition that shows how young artists interpret and express their identities by the influence of the media.
Enjoy musical performances, interactive art, artists talks, and more!
