Summit Youth
Responding to Youth Needs in Saskatoon

We are an interdisciplinary team with extensive knowledge and experience in providing front-line intervention and prevention services to Saskatoon’s most vulnerable youth and young adults.

We provide wrap-around client-centered services such as harm reduction education, personalized client referrals and assessments, outreach support, cultural and youth-developed programming, life-skills mentorship, substance use disorder and drop-in counselling.

Core Values

The harm reduction approach is reflected by providing non-judgmental, accessible, inclusive and respectful services to every youth/young person regardless of substance use or other high-risk behaviours/lifestyles.

Summit believes in the inherent dignity and worth of all young persons regardless of their lifestyle or risk level, as we recognize that youth often live in survival mode. Youth in survival mode can feel hopeless/helpless and no longer have space to dream about their future. We want to promote self-worth in young people so they believe they can have dreams and future goals.

We recognize and value the importance of human relationships/connections and strive to strengthen relationships through positive peer activities and supportive mentorship to enhance the well-being of youth and young adults in our community.

Seven Sacred Techings

"I think Summit is important because it shows youth we can have fun sober, and helps connect people together, giving some a sense of family who doesn’t have family or friends. It gives us resources to whatever we need and you guys help us to the best of your ability You guys are a safe space for lots of us and never judgmental always have someone to talk to when needed and helps us with independence (weather that be helping finding a job, getting over social anxiety)"

― Briann Pelletier. ―

"Because Summit is always here when I need support and they help me, even in crisis situations."

― Nakeisha M.- a.k.a Kayo. ―

“It is essential for us as a society to have more Indigenous mindset based organizations when dealing with the traumas of 150 years of colonialism and the ripple effect caused by it. Summit provides an essential service with Indigenous mindfulness.”

― Katana Payton B.M. ―
