About Pictou County Roots for Youth Society

The organization operates an eight (8)-bed emergency shelter for youth 16-24 years of age. Youth residents can access safer housing, and are provided with basic needs such as food, clothing, shower, hygiene supplies, one-on-one support, and referrals to various health-related and basic needs-related resources and services, locally.


The organization also offers a transitional housing program for youth 16-years of age and older. The transitional housing program is an advancement in independent living. Residents are typically attending school part-time or full-time, employed part-time or full-time, or engaged in a commitment that moves the youth’s life forward.


Pictou County Roots for Youth also offers Outreach Services for youth 12-24 years of age. Youth are connected with an Outreach Navigator who can transport youth to health, employment, and education-related appointments or programs. The Outreach Navigator can also advocate for youth and their specific needs and goals, and reconnect youth with family when safe and possible.


The organization also offers a Community Cupboard program. The Community Cupboard serves youth 12-24 years of age as a food/ grocery top-up alternative. Youth clients can access the Community Cupboard Monday to Friday during regular business hours, once daily, and are entitled to one (1) bag per daily visit.

Local Details

Hello CNOY 2024 participants, volunteers, and sponsors,


We are delighted to announce that our annual Coldest Night of the Year fundraiser has been rescheduled!


We hope that you can join us at the Pictou County Wellness Centre (Community Room -- Second Floor) this Saturday, March 2 for a hearty CNOY 2024 redemption after our disappointing cancellation last Saturday.


We're happy to report that many sponsors are returning to support CNOY this Saturday, March 2, including J.Conway Catering (Post-Walk Meal), Starbucks New Glasgow (Beverages and Snacks), Ainsley DeCoste (Live Entertainment), Kirsten-Lee Egbert (Face Painting), and Sandra Eis (Photography).


If the weather gets the best of us again, we're still going ahead with an indoor walk at the Wellness Centre, located around the perimeter of the Bell Aliant Arena. 1 km would be 6 laps around the track, 2 kms would be 12 laps, and for those who are especially keen and motivated, 5 kms would be 30 laps, but let's just be grateful for anyone who shows up this Saturday.


We hope the rescheduled event is not too short notice, and we hope that you can still join us this Saturday for our CNOY 2024 redemption. We'd love to have you there!


Thank you again for supporting Coldest Night of the Year 2024. Please don't hesitate to reach-out with any questions or requests via: admin@pcrootsforyouth.ca. We're here to help, and we hope to see you this Saturday at our rescheduled CNOY event for a worthy redemption!
