30 years and counting
Founded in 1994 by the Hon. Jim Ross, the mission of Partners for Youth is to engage youth facing challenges and obstacles in their lives to become capable, connected and contributing members of their communities. PFY achieves its mission through innovative programs and services which promote experiential learning in safe, supportive and rewarding environments, in collaboration with public, private and not for profit partners.
Help us help them
We work hard to provide high quality programming and services to youth and youth at risk and as a not for profit our ability to do this work is directly related to the generosity of our numerous donors.
As a provincial entity, Partners for Youth acknowledges that it carries out its work on the traditional unceded territory of the Wolastoqiyik, Mi’kmaq and Peskotomuhkati peoples.
This territory is covered by the “Treaties of Peace and Friendship” which these nations first signed with the British Crown in 1726. The treaties did not deal with the surrender of lands and resources, but in fact recognized Mi’kmaq and Wolastoqiyik title and established the rules for what was to be an ongoing relationship between nations.
We, the staff and members of the board, pay respect to the elders, past and present, and descendants of this land. We honour the knowledge keepers and seek their guidance as we strive to develop closer relationships with the Indigenous people in New Brunswick.
Sport3 has been created for youth, including those at risk, to foster engagement, meaningful conversations, and positive dialogue. With a strong focus on conflict resolution and mental well-being, Sport3 uses a structured, curriculum-based approach that incorporates games, movement and activities to create a safe and supportive environment.
Delivered through various modules during the school year at partner schools, the program helps students explore important topics such as leadership, the environment, gender equality, and healthy relationships.

Behind every thriving young person is a strong support system. 💙 At PFY, our programs make a lasting impact thanks to the dedication of our staff—but we couldn’t do it without the incredible teachers and volunteers who help bring our initiatives to life! From implementing Sport3 and Youth in Action for Mental Health to creating safe, supportive spaces, teachers play a vital role in empowering youth across New Brunswick.
