Investing In Our Future Leaders,
One Youth At A Time

The Shop’s one on one mentoring program has been designed to allow students to make informed decisions on their next steps in life.

What We Do

Our Vision

Our vision began in 2016 with a pilot program involving a few cars and a few youth. It proved to be a workable program, and by late 2017 our small team of volunteers and staff were ready to launch! 

In 2017, we opened a 2000 square foot shop in Cambridge. In 2024 the facilities were upgraded to meet the increasing demand for this program.

Our focus from day one has been to invest in our youth and prepare them to be our leaders of tomorrow. This is accomplished using our one-on-one training and mentoring model.

The Shop is a registered Ontario Motor Vehicle Industry Council (OMVIC) automobile dealership and a member in good standing with the Used Car Dealers Association (UCDA)

How it works

Simple Steps, Lasting Impact

Donate

Donate your vehicle in exchange for a charitable tax receipt.

Youth Involvement

Youth learn by examining or working on vehicles at our shop facilities.

Sale

Vehicles are sold, producing revenue for our program.
“We cannot always build the future for our youth, but we can build our youth for the future.”
- Franklin D. Roosevelt

Youth Involvement

Each week, youth aged 13-19 get hands on experience working on various aspects of vehicle service and repair.
The youth will work one-on-one with a mentor in a safe and supportive environment. The content of the mentorship will be tailor-made to fit the interests and ability of the youth.

When you buy a vehicle from The Shop- Youth Unlimited YFC TriCity, we include all the licensing fees in the price. Since you are buying a vehicle that was donated to a charity, there will not be any tax added to the sale. We are an Ontario Motor Vehicle Dealer, fully registered with OMVIC, and will process all the paperwork for you and include the licensing and ownership transfer for no extra charge. You can buy with peace of mind, confidence, and without worrying about extra fees or taxes. It’s a win-win for all of us!
