For over 25 years the Inner City Youth Engagement Program and Inner City High School under the umbrella of the Inner City Youth Development Association have successfully provided opportunities for Edmonton’s most vulnerable marginalized urban youth (known as Edmonton’s high risk youth) to leave the desperation of the street behind and begin building productive lives.
The population in our programs year after year is made up of between 85 to 90 percent Indigenous youth. Most youth in our programs have a history of and are fighting the damages of dysfunctional socialization, a dysfunctional school history, contact with the justice system and extreme poverty.
