About 37 Frank Youth Centre, YFC Strathroy

At the 37 Frank Youth Centre, we ask: how can we help? Our motto is "Frank has your back!"

Read More

At 37 Frank we see the hope and potential in all youth. We believe all youth need a place to belong, to be accepted and to feel welcome. At 37 Frank, our vision is to be present in their lives and give hope.

At Frank's, we want to be able to help youth who may be in crisis, at risk, facing homelessness, food insecurity and/or who just need a safe place to hang out. At the Centre - which is open 11AM to 7PM Tuesday to Thursday and 11AM to 6PM on Fridays - we can provide warmth, food, toiletries, clothing, showers, and laundry. We also have been able to open this past year an emergency crash bed and have now been added to the Ontario 211 hotline

If we cannot meet their immediate need, we endeavor to connect them to an organization that can. We strive to be a community hub to connect and support local youth.

Our Coldest Night of the Year (CNOY) fundraising campaign will not only help us continue serving the needs of the youth of Strathroy, but it will also help continue with the programs and help keep the Youth Centre and the Emergency Crash Bed up and running.
