Community Development

Gordon House seeks to build a vibrant, inclusive and active West End where every person has the opportunity to belong.

Current Programs

Young Ideas

The YI Initiative is a group of volunteers who organize events, activities and workshops focused on facilitating opportunities for connection of those in our community that are between the ages of 20 and 39. Young Ideas have hosted soccer at the beach meet-ups, a 90s hip-hop themed pop-up pub and drag queen bingo. The Young ideas program continues to gain momentum as the number of participants increase with each event and activity.

Volunteer Opportunity

Young Ideas is steered by a volunteer committee of young adults that meets annually to set strategic direction, and monthly to plan workshops, events and programs. Visit our Volunteer Page to fill out an application, and indicate your interest in Young Ideas.
