Why We Support 
Wyndham House 

For more than 30 years Wyndham House has opened its doors to thousands of youth in Guelph & Wellington. Young people who are in a situation where they need a place to stay for one night or for much longer, Wyndham House is there to help.

Wyndham House is an organization that provides young people 16 to 21 with the supports and services needed to overcome challenging times and difficult problems. Wyndham House has a combination of long term and short term residential beds available.

For those who don't need a place to stay but are looking for other supports and services you are welcome to come to our Youth Resource Centre. The Resource Centre can help with things such as; getting or replacing I.D., bus tickets, help with High School registration, transportation to the Food Bank, Access to a Nurse Practitioner, food & coffee daily, as well as get hooked up with a place to shower and/or get your laundry done if needed.

Youth from all backgrounds are staying with at Wyndham House. Some are self-referred, some learn about us from friends and some are referred to us by community social services agencies, school guidance counsellors or local health care facilities. Each unique situation and circumstances determines which program option is best for individual needs.

Wyndham House is a non-judgemental place,  a voluntary program, that welcomes youth from all backgrounds.
