KINGSTON

In Kingston, 50% of the youth homeless population are female (a higher rate than the rest of Canada) and 77% of youth were approached for prostitution, drugs, criminal or other exploitive activities within only 45 minutes of becoming homeless.

​

Trek for Teens Kingston was started by several Queen's students in 2016 to address the youth homelessness issue in Kingston by forming a partnership with the Kingston Youth Shelter. Throughout the year there are many events such as concerts and games nights that raise funds to support youth experiencing homelessness in Kingston.
