shop for a claus

Coming back for its 5th year is Quinte West Youth Center’s Shop For A Claus Vendor Event!🎄🎁

This familiar family-favourite event will be featuring 30+ local small businesses, delicious hot chocolate and a meet & greet with the big man himself – Santa Claus!🎅

youth volunteers

Youth who are interested in volunteering, including high school students in need of volunteer hours, are welcome to do those hours here!
 
How does it work? You would become a member of the youth centre, and then come during regular drop in hours like any other member.
 
While you are here, we would give you jobs to do depending on your interests. There is always work to be done! For example: cleaning, yard work, gardening, painting, organizing, repairs, computer work/admin support, writing… Or it could be something different – we can figure it out together. 
 
If this is of interest, complete a membership form, and then ask for a meeting to talk through what volunteer hours could look like.
