Safe Futures Program

YMCA of Southeastern Alberta’s Safe Futures Program is a voluntary initiative designed for youth ages 12-30, at risk of becoming involved with and/or who have had contact with the criminal justice system, that provides support in a safe environment. The program serves Medicine Hat and surrounding communities, focusing on youth at risk of violence or with repeat criminal justice contacts. The Safe Future’s Program aims to reduce crime and enhance community resilience through personalized interventions, outreach, pro-social activities, and increased community awareness. By addressing harmful factors like gun violence, auto theft, and drug-related offenses, we strive to prevent reoffending and build protective factors.
