Staff and Services
Who We Are
Futures Forward is a collaboration of three organizations that aim to reduce barriers young people exiting Child and Family Services (CFS) in Manitoba face as they transition into adulthood between the ages of 15-29 years old.
The Futures Forward collaborative includes Youth Employment Services Manitoba, Community Financial Counselling Services and Canadian Mental Health Association. Together youth receive support in education planning and funding, job preparation and finding, finding housing, access to mental health counselling, getting ID, how systems work, and applying for financial support and Indigenous cultural programming.
Futures Forward staff work Monday – Friday from 8:30 am – 4:30 pm (except for Stat holidays).
The Futures Forward program is funded by the Department of Mental Health and Community Wellness.
This website is funded by the Northpine Foundation.
