Creating a Safe Space for Summerside’s Youth
In the mid-90s, the youth of Summerside roamed the streets with nowhere to go. What started as frustration from local residents turned into a movement for change, thanks to a group of visionary leaders and a Summerside police constable. Generation XX was born from a simple idea: create a place where kids could feel safe, valued, and part of something bigger than themselves.
Our Journey
Since that day in the parking lot, Generation XX has grown into a community-driven club where youth aren’t just participants—they’re leaders. Managed by both an adult board and a youth board, we empower young people to shape the direction of our programs, take on leadership roles, and work together to create lasting change.
“At Generation XX, we don’t just build leaders for today; we create a legacy of youth shaping their own future.”
Our Values
- Youth Leadership: Youth voices lead the way, making decisions and setting priorities.
- Safety: A safe space for all, where everyone is responsible for one another.
- Belonging: Everyone is welcome. Respect and inclusivity guide our actions.
- Mentorship: We learn from one another, passing knowledge and experiences forward.
- Fun: Youth deserve to enjoy their time and be kids while they grow.
Here, youth aren’t just participants—they are the architects of change, creating a ripple of positive impact that transcends generations.
Generations of Impact
Generation XX isn’t just about today’s youth. Over the years, generations of members have come back, often with their own children, to continue the legacy of mentorship, leadership, and community engagement. We are proud to see the ripple effect of positive change that started decades ago still flourishing today.
