Recently, young people met directly with the Minister of Social Development and senior departmental staff to share their lived experiences and identify clear priorities for change. The outcome? To make life better for kids in the care system.
Read the full Ministerโs Roundtable Final Report.
Wishing all students, families, and educators a safe, restful, and fun-filled break. Whether youโre travelling, spending time outdoors, or simply slowing down at home, we hope you take the time to recharge.
Enjoy the weekโyouโve earned it!
โWe will not give up on you.โ At PFY, this isnโt just a promiseโitโs a practice. For youth in care, consistency and presence can make all the difference. When adults stay, especially during hard moments, trust begins to rebuild and confidence can grow.

In 2025, PFY reached thousands of youth across New Brunswick through programs focused on mental health, leadership, housing stability, education, and community connection.
Thank you to every staff member, partner, donor, and youth who helped make this year so impactful.
Behind every number is a young person who didnโt have to wait months for support. In 2025, PFY Connect continued to break down barriers to youth mental healthcare across New Brunswick, connecting hundreds of youth with licensed counselling quickly, safely, and at no cost.

In 2025, The Rent Bank helped dozens of New Brunswick youth and families stay safely housed by providing short-term financial support during tough times.
This small but powerful program prevents homelessness before it starts, offering stability, dignity, and breathing room when itโs needed most.
By the end of January, many people feel like theyโve already โfailedโ at their resolutions. But what if we let go of rigid goals and focused on something gentler? In our latest blog, we explore the difference between resolutions and intentions.
We are pausing our social media posts as we send our support and our genuine thoughts and deepest sympathies to our friends and the community of Neqotkuk as they grieve during this tragic and sad time.
From policy tables to community surveys, the New Brunswick Youth Advisory Council made their voices count in 2025.
Backed by lived experience and a drive to improve youth mental health supports, council members engaged directly with government leaders and helped shape a more youth-informed future.
In 2025, hundreds of Sport3 participants practiced how to listen, collaborate, manage emotions, and navigate conflict through gameplay and guided reflection.
To our facilitators, schools, and youth who showed up with curiosity and courage: Thank you! This program works because of you.
Youth Works is about more than just finding a job. Itโs about building confidence, developing skills, and helping youth see whatโs possible for their future. In 2025, we saw huge growth and impact across the province. To every participant and staff member who made this year a successโthank you!
From first-time paddlers to seasoned campers, Camp Tippy Canoe brought together youth from across the province for a summer of learning, connection, and adventure. ๐ถ
Thank you to every camper, staff member, and partner who made this season one to remember!
Wishing you peace, warmth, and connection this holiday season.
From all of us at Partners for Youth, happy holidays and heartfelt thanks to everyone who supported, partnered, and walked alongside us this year.
Hereโs to carrying that spirit of care into the new year. ๐
The holidays can be joyful, stressful, comforting, and overwhelming โ often all at once. In our latest blog, we reflect on what youth often share with us during this season, and offer simple, grounding ways to move through it.
Our office will be closed starting this Friday for a two-week holiday break.
After a busy and rewarding year, our team is taking some well-deserved time to rest and recharge. Wishing everyone a joyful, peaceful holiday season โ weโll see you in 2026!
We hosted our 2024โ2025 Annual General Meeting, reflecting on a year of impact, growth, and commitment to youth across NB. Read the full report on our website to learn more about our programs, partnerships, and the incredible work happening across the province.

Today, we celebrate alongside the community of Sitansisk (St. Maryโs First Nation) as we hold our provincial celebration at Chief Harold Sappier Memorial Elementary School. Across NB, 50,000 students are joining in solidarityโringing bells to raise awareness, break stigma, and show support. ๐งก
The PFY Presents event was a tremendous successโand itโs all thanks to you. Your support helps sustain PFY Connect, our rapid-access mental health counselling program. Weโre especially grateful to our moderator and four incredible guest speakers for sharing their time, insights, and leadership.
Tomorrow, weโre welcoming over 250 guests to the Fredericton Inn for PFY Presents. Proceeds from the event will directly support PFY Connect, our free rapid-access mental health counselling program for youth. To everyone joining us, sponsoring, or cheering us on from afarโthank you!
