Welcome to Step Niagara
We offer services to youth throughout the Niagara Region.The STEP Empowerment Centre provides a welcoming environment offering free individual counselling for youth ages 12-24. We are a not-for-profit community-based agency located in downtown St. Catharines.
Our Purpose
We identified a need in our community to engage youth in a supportive way, fostering trust and bridging gaps while providing a safe space in our community. With passion and purpose we welcome all youth, acknowledging their value, and empowering them to design the life they wish to live.
About STEP
We have focused our work on creating a “Circle of Care” connecting young people with resources, counselling, and a hub to accessing and navigating what is available in our community with support. We are always evolving based on the needs of the youth who come to the Centre seeking empowerment.
