The "Connect" pillar of the Doorway Project focuses on fostering strong community engagement and support networks for youth and young adults experiencing homelessness. Through a variety of initiatives and activities, we strive to create inclusive and empowering environments where young people can connect with each other, access essential resources, and build meaningful relationships with community members, service providers, and university faculty and staff. Our approach emphasizes collaboration, collective action, and mutual support, with the goal of creating a more inclusive and supportive community for all young people affected by homelessness.
