Our Team
Serving our Community Since 1973
Youth Co-Op is an organization whose focus is to serve youth and families in their quest to become financially independent and self-sufficient. For 47 years it has been changing the lives of disconnected youth, families, immigrants, refugees and asylees through training, access to jobs and mentoring. A customer-friendly approach in service delivery is YCI’s trademark. Staff and management combine the business acumen with the non-profit principle of bettering the communities in which we operate.
