JSYF (JUSTIN SLADE YOUTH FOUNDATION)

JSYF (JUSTIN SLADE YOUTH FOUNDATION) JSYF is a non-profit providing FREE access to a drop-in centre and programming to youth ages 12 to 17

The Justin Slade Youth Foundation is a drop in centre for youth aged 12-17. It was formed in November 2004 after a tragic car accident took the life of 21-year-old Justin Slade. The death of this young man left a lasting legacy on those who knew him. Justin’s zest for life and his desire to make a difference inspired his parents to develop a youth project to continue what meant the most to Justin – helping others.

Grateful beyond words for the community that stands behind our youth. Our recent raffle wasn’t just a fundraiser it was a reminder of how many local organizations believe in creating opportunities, joy, and connection for young people in Wood Buffalo.

A huge thank you to every sponsor who helped make this possible: Fort McMurray Giants, Oil Barons, MacDonald Island Park, Chatters, Color Me Mine, Foy Medi Spa, PG‑Eh/ Banquet , GPM Industrial, Awesome Khaos, Play On Space, and the Oil Sands Discovery Centre. Your generosity filled our prize basket, fueled excitement, and directly supported programs that uplift youth every single day.

Community grows when people show up and you showed up in a big way. We appreciate you.
