Youth HQ moves to new location to establish Centre For Social Impact

Mar 7, 2023 | 11:29 AM

Youth HQ has announced that the Professional Building located at 4808 50 Street in downtown Red Deer, will soon become the Centre for Social Impact.

Youth HQ officials say supporters of the building share in the vison of providing charities and non-profit organizations access to a centrally located unique building that offers affordable office, program, and meeting space. It’s noted the building has had substantial upgrades and enhancements that are expected to serve tenants well into the future.

Officials with the organization say Red Deer has long identified a need for a unique building dedicated exclusively to charitable activities. An inspiring place where charities and non-profit organizations collaborate.

“Charities and non-profits are often subject to locations throughout the city based on affordability. With continuing rising operational and facility costs such as rent, utilities, and available space, charities and non-profits face challenges. The Centre for Social Impact will respond to these challenges so organizations can focus on what they do best –create impact in our community.” states Rob Lewis, Executive Director, Youth HQ.

Officials say the property was donated by Maclab Properties Group, a private real estate group founded in Edmonton in the 1950’s. Maclab is described as having a long history of strong support for the non-profit community across Alberta and was excited to contribute to this project.

Interested tenants are encouraged to contact Rob Lewis, Youth HQ for more information.

Officials with the organization say Youth HQ is also looking for a donor who shares in this vision of creating a place that will benefit the community for years to come. It’s noted this donor (individual or corporate) would have title name to the building – ___________________ Centre for Social Impact.

Youth HQ officials describe this is an exciting time for charities and non-profit organizations in Red Deer.
