About

All in for Youth is a collaborative initiative led by United Way of the Alberta Capital Region that provides students with the resources and support they need to stay in school, graduate, and build successful futures.

By working directly with schools, families, and community organizations, we offer integrated, school-based services that help students overcome challenges related to mental health, academic success, and family stability. Our goal is to remove barriers so that every student has the opportunity to thrive.

This coordinated, community-driven approach is helping to create lasting change by ensuring that vulnerable youth receive the support they need—right where they need it most.

All in for Youth supports children from Kindergarten through Grade 12 in eight schools where there is a high need for services:

  • Abbott Elementary
  • Delton Elementary
  • Eastglen High School
  • Ivor Dent Elementary Junior High
  • John A McDougall Elementary
  • Norwood Elementary
  • Spruce Avenue Junior High
  • St. Alphonsus Elementary/Junior High
