Kingston Military Family Resource Centre
This is your chance to have your voice heard, meet other military youth, and help create the kind of community you want to be part of.
Why Join?
Military life can be tough. Frequent moves, changing schools, deployments, and starting over can make it hard to feel connected.
YOUth Matter gives youth a place to belong.
It’s a space where you can:
| make new friends | build confidence | share your ideas | develop leadership skills |
| find your community | earn volunteer hours for high school | help plan youth events | create programs that reflect what military youth actually need |
Because youth programs should be created with youth, not just for them.
Real Impact
The YOUth Matter Advisory Committee helps create real change for military youth at the KMFRC.
Members work directly with staff to help shape programs, events, and services that reflect what military youth actually need, not just what adults think they need.
Their ideas help create stronger connections, more welcoming spaces, and programs where youth feel seen, supported, and included.
