About Youth Unlimited (YFC Toronto)

With over 1 million young people in the Toronto area alone, Youth Unlimited's vision is to see every one of them transformed by God's love & life-changing power. Our hope is that by cultivating relationships with caring adults who will mentor and cheer them on, our young people will be able to bring about positive change to our city – both now and in the future. We do this through grassroots programming, a focus on wholistic transformation, and a network of local partnerships. This includes after-school programs, sports programs, summer camps, and more.

About The Refuge

The Refuge is a Christian charitable community called to show Jesus Christ's love and kindness to the youth of our community through practical and compassionate means of intervention and prevention. While we offer programs that meet basic needs (food and clothing), our real purpose is to create a community where youth can come to be loved, nurtured, encouraged, be safe and find a place to belong... a community in which youth can encounter Christ and find healing.

As part of an exciting ministry partnership between Youth Unlimited and The Refuge, the onsite missionary worker will foster community among the 26 youth/young adults living in the Refuge apartment complex by hosting large and small group gatherings, providing guidance and support, and being a light for Christ within the building.
