About THE BOYS AND GIRLS CLUB OF YORK REGION

Social Enterprise for Canada (SEC) is a non profit, registered charity that develops and manages a number of benevolent and social purpose services. These services include Family, Children & Youth Services, Newcomer Services and Strategic Consulting Services. You may know us under our former name, York Region Neighbourhood Services.

SEC also owns a single share profit corporation known as Social Enterprise Canada Corporation, which develops and operates business ventures such as Bridge Translations™, whose earned income serves to support SEC's social mandate.

We are committed to public good and the provision of social services within the context of culture, community and family. We are particularly interested in the healthy development of children and youth. We are concerned with the issues of equity, diversity and access to services. SEC understands that a healthy civil society is a blend of strong economic foundations in concert with rich social capital and community support.
