There are two types of youth spaces available across the city: regular and enhanced.
Regular Youth Spaces have youth-centric programming during the week at different times. They might not be available every day of the week, so make sure to check ahead.
Enhanced Youth Spaces (EYS) are supervised spaces that are open to youth five to six (5-6) days a week. These spaces have stuff like WiFi, TV, gaming consoles, foosball tables, pool tables, computers, recording studios, photography labs, and study spaces. Free programs include photography, barbering and hairstyling, yoga, nail art, DJing and music recording.
School’s Out, Rec’s In is a free, drop-in program for youth aged 13 to 17, happening in school gyms across Toronto from July 2 to August 15, 2025.
Join us for a wide variety of sports and activities, like:
Stay active, meet new people and build new skills – all close to home.
You can also connect with local Youth Outreach Workers, who can link you to other opportunities in your community, such as leadership programs, volunteer hours, pre-employment workshops and more.
If you have any questions, reach out to Jermeen Baddour at 647-472-1449
