We face urgent challenges in Charlotte County
especially among our youth
Percentage of young people ages 15-29 who are NOT in employment, education, or training
Far too many young people are failing in the transition from school to employment. Instead, they are at risk of being enmeshed in long-term homelessness and dependency. Not only young people struggle. St. Stephen has one of the higher rates of poverty among New Brunswickers (24.4% in the Town; 22.9% in the Parish).
Poverty and homelessness are also deeply connected to physical and mental health concerns, and to the damage caused by social isolation.
