The HUB Youth Centre is a safe space open to youth of all backgrounds. We are community-focused and provide a drop-in space, as well as programs to help young people discover new skills, learn about themselves and connect with new friends.
Starting February 2020, we’re trying something new. We’ll be open to Jr High students (ages 12-14) and Sr High students (ages 15-17) on separate nights. Our hope is that we can serve you better by offering programs better suite to your age group.
See the age-specific program information below.

Collective: Faith Development | Ages 12-17
6 – 8 PM
About The Collective: The Collective is a faith development program where youth are encouraged to discover and grow in their beliefs. It is an open and safe place to discuss opinions, questions and challenges about God, Jesus and the Bible. Youth of ALL beliefs and backgrounds are welcome. By learning and discussing together, leaders will strive to engage youth in conversations and topics that are meaningful to them and give youth room to explore and understand what they believe.
Want to come early for dinner? You’re welcome to join us for FREE dinner every week at 5 PM in Cafe Connect.
SCHEDULE
Dinner: From 5 – 6 PM, we all gather to enjoy a meal together. Part of our experience in a faith community is to sit together at a table and share a meal in a family setting. Youth who join can be prepared to enjoy good food and have a chance to serve.
Main Session: We kick off with a video or teaching on a relevant topic to get us thinking more about faith and life in general. Take notes, ask questions and discuss your views on God and Jesus and let’s explore what life with God means to you.
Small Groups: After the main session, we’ll split into smaller groups. Voice your opinion and ask questions; hear from peers about their faith experiences and the shared struggles. This is a safe space for youth of ALL beliefs and backgrounds to engage in respectful dialogue.
