All kinds of youth from all kinds of backgrounds participate in group activities for a range of benefits. Response-Ability Pregnant & Parenting Program are no different.

Our cultural activities, outings, and group programming help residents broaden their horizons, keep their spirits up, and empower them with tools they will be able to use when they leave Open Door Youth Shelter - Lakeview.

Purposes of activities:
- Engage youth positively with other youth in similar circumstances
- Help youth find ways to engage their children in a wide range of activities
- Empower youth by giving them the opportunity to do something they have always wanted to do
- Enable youth to step out of their “comfort zones” by experiencing something new
- Restore an experience they have enjoyed before, helping to “normalize” their shelter experience
- Learn productive use of leisure time
