How to design a place for teens and at-risk youth

Covenant House recently opened a new 10-storey building to support at-risk youth in Vancouver. The building is a testament to how to design places for youth, with amenities and services including an art therapy room, classrooms, fitness facilities, and outdoor areas. That's because at-risk youth were involved closely in the design process.

Having worked as a mentor for Covenant House since 2018, I have seen the incredible work they do. I was recently invited to the grand opening of their new building and had a chance to ask them how youth were involved in the design.

How were youth engaged in designing the space?

Young people were at the heart of the design process, including offering ideas and thoughts in round table discussions and the chance to provide feedback directly to staff.

When we began this process we wanted to understand what worked for young people and didn’t and what would make our buildings feel safe, welcoming and homey.

Our new building is thoughtfully designed to meet the increasingly complex needs of youth. It has spaces that allow us to provide wrap around supports, leading to transformative healing and growth.

This expansion will not only allow Covenant House to welcome more youth, but to integrate feedback from youth, and think deeply about the ways these new spaces could support and enhance our programs.

In short, this building represents a commitment: youth shared what they want and need from our services, and we designed spaces that directly respond to that need.

What were their priorities for the space and how was this reflected in the design?

When we embarked on this project over ten years ago, we knew that the number of youth experiencing homelessness was rising in Vancouver. We were turning away young people who needed our services, and knew we had to significantly increase our capacity to serve these youth.

One of our top priorities was to ensure that when young people asked for help we could say yes. Yes to a safe place to sleep, receive counselling or take a shower.

Some of the young peoples priorities were clean bright spaces with natural finishes, the ability to open windows and get fresh air, spaces where they could be outside without leaving Covenant House and ensure there was as many beds as possible while still providing privacy and in room washrooms.

Some of the new, innovative services the increased space will make possible include:

An art studio and dedicated space for our incredibly successful Art Therapy program.

A classroom and computer lab, to encourage learning and provide youth with a sense of community while working towards their goals.

A meditation and movement studio, which will allow for more embodied therapy sessions and respite from stressors.

An incredible gym and the exercise room.

These facilities will give youth a safe and productive environment to work through challenging emotions and build healthy habits.

What are your hopes for the new space?

Our hope for our new space is above all else provide crucial supports to young people aged 16 to 24 who have fled physical, emotional and sexual abuse; those who have been forced from their homes; those who have experienced human trafficking and those who have aged out of foster care with no supports.

To have a real impact on the young people at Covenant House Vancouver, we must first show them that – unlike so many of the adults they have encountered in their life – they can trust us to guide them and support them with unconditional love and absolute respect.

The work we do with youth at Covenant House is holistic – it involves formal services like counselling, case management, and housing support, but it also involves the food we serve, the conversations we have, the space we operate in, and the informal activities we participate in together.

Each one of these elements is an opportunity to build a relationship – because relationship building is crucial and at the heart of what we do here.

Every time we sit down to share a meal with a young person, or work side-by-side with them to create a piece of art, or even lose – badly – to them at a video game, we build a little bit more of a relationship, and gain a little bit more of their trust. And trusting relationships are the foundation for real change.
