Since 1995, The Dam has been working alongside youth to build an inclusive community where everyone is welcomed, valued, and respected. We currently operate two Youth Drop-In spaces in the Cooksville and Meadowvale neighborhoods, as well as a variety of programs, including Youth Employment, Housing Subsidy, Mentoring, and Development opportunities. These programs are designed to help young people Belong, Connect, and Lead throughout the year.

Our Drop-In Spaces are open to youth ages 13-19, with off-site mentoring available up to age 25. The Dam plays a vital role in the Mississauga community, and we are proud to be an active and engaged resource for local youth.
