HELPING BUILD
YOUTHS FUTURE
WHO WE ARE
South Shore Youth organization is a non-profit organization providing youth leadership workshops, Academic tutoring, Sports and community service programs in order to empower the youth of today for a better tomorrow.
SSYO PILLARS TO SUCCESS
South Shore Youth Organization’s (SSYO) mission is to provide resources to the youth and
families in Montreal’s South Shore through our 4 pillars.
ATHLETICS
We provide our youth access to sport and give them a safe place to get physically active, make connections and learn valuable skills
ACADEMICS
Providing ressources to academic services such as tutoring, homework and exam help, financial literacy, etc.
COMMUNITY
Inspiring our youth to be of service to their communities and neighbours and foster lifelong leadership
MENTAL HEALTH
Offering tools and workshops to ensure and improve the physical, mental and emotional health of our youth and their families.
OUR STORY
The youth of today are some of the most engaging, knowledgeable, and creative people in our city, yet they face many unique challenges on the road to success. Motivated by their passion and curiosity, we dreamt of creating a community that would help kids and teens build the confidence and life skills they need for a bright future. So we did.
SSYO LEADERSHIP
South Shore Youth Organization is governed by a Board of Directors who mentor, lead, and guide our executive team. They ensure that our charitable events are possible and step in when needed to ensure the smooth running of the organization
OUR ALUMNI
Our Alumni are incredibly important to us! It was our Alumni that paved the way for all SSYO members, and that helped accomplish us some great things!
Our Alumni have no designated responsibility to the program but continue to assist us because they have been positively affected by the program in some way. Alumni sometimes assist as tutors, coaches, volunteers, mentors, returning as Board of Directors’ Members, and helping with the general organization of events.
We want to hear from each and every person that was once a part of SSYO/South Shore Select! We would love to connect with you, see what you’re up to, hear about your personal accomplishments, and update you on what we are currently doing (and, if you’d like, how YOU can help out!)
