We started in 2005 as the Talbot Teen Centre. In 2020 we became Ignite Youth Centre, a name built around energy, creativity, and what young people can become. We're the youth home of St. Thomas-Elgin Youth & Employment Services.
Every dollar keeps Ignite free for the youth who need it. Fund a program, a meal, or a safe afternoon.
