The Justin Slade Youth Foundation
Who We Are
The Justin Slade Youth Foundation was formed in November 2004 when a tragic car accident took the life of 21-year-old Justin Slade. The death of this young man left a lasting legacy on those who knew him. Justin’s zest for life and his desire to make a difference inspired his parents to develop a youth project to continue what meant the most to Justin – helping others.The Justin Slade Youth Foundation is targeted at youth aged 12-18. Our mission is to empower young people to make better life choices and to express themselves in positive ways through music, drama, art and sports.
A registered non-profit charity, we provide youth with both organized programming and a casual drop-in service, as well as valuable opportunities for social interaction and community engagement.
