This story shows the great work Youth Unlimited (Greater Vancouver) is doing to support vulnerable youth and why we at the Joseph Richard Group are supporting them through JRG's 3rd Annual One Night Out. Please join us by making a donation to Youth Unlimited - any amount will help! Funds raised for Youth Unlimited go to providing love, care and tangible help to vulnerable youth experiencing homelessness or at risk of homelessness across Greater Vancouver. Our youth have high... risk factors for homelessness, addiction, gang recruitment, sexual exploitation and extreme poverty, but early intervention can massively decrease those risks and give youth a bright and hopeful future. Consistent mentorship is one of YU’s key transformational strategies. Research shows that providing a stable, caring and consistent adult in a youth’s life for 18 months will drop his or her risk factors by 70%. Prevention is a key objective of YU’s extensive programing.
