Sanctuary Youth Centre A place of sanctuary for Victoria's youth in need... “Defend the cause of the weak and fatherless; maintain the rights of the poor and oppressed. Rescue the weakand needy; deliver them from the hand of the wicked.” - Psalm 82:3-4 Verses such as this inspire us to action. This is our plan for this coming season; just as we’ve done the past 5 years, is to come alongside as many youth as possible and support in this very difficult time in their young lives. Sanctuary Youth Centre allows us to do just that. We are not always sure how the youth find us but new faces appear regularly. Youth coming to Sanctuary are exposed a variety of experiences; the primary experience being acceptance and friendship." - Rob |

Sanctuary provides a safe meeting place and a community for young people who are isolated from mainstream society. The 1800 square foot facility provides an artistic environment with areas to kick back, grab a coffee, get a shower, do laundry, even access email. Regular evenings of live music and other special events are being scheduled.
Sanctuary's role centres on meeting disadvantaged youth at their point of need, and in being a catalyst to link them with local aid and services.
This project is overseen by a committee that includes nine pastors from local Victoria churches, and operates under an independent, non-profit organization "Cornerstone Youth Society", mailing address: Box 100, Victoria, BC V8W 2M1 (a registered charitable society).
