I would so much like young people to have a sense of the gift that they are.

As part of the Greater Foothills Family Resource Network, BGC Foothills Clubs provides a Youth Resource Centre (YRC)!
The Youth Resource Centre is physically located in High River and offers services to youth between 13 - 18 years old in the community through a variety of universal and targeted programs. Services outside of High River are outreach based, meaning BGCF staff will meet youth where it is most convenient for them within their home community.
Our individualized services look different for each youth depending on their needs and goals. There is no charge for services.
BGC Foothills Clubs is well connected in the communities we work in, and we use these connections to make sure youth will be, too!
Youth can access support via text and/or phone calls. Focus is on providing youth with opportunities for social connection, community engagement and access to other caring agencies and services. We also are able to link youth to essential supports such as food security, housing support, and mental health resources.
Youth can text or call 403-470-8186 and a supportive and caring Youth Worker will answer and provide you with the supports and services they need!
We are super excited to offer this enhanced programming to the greater Foothills community!
