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.

Land
Acknowledgement
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.
