Building strong communities for over 30 years

Roots Community Services has been providing programs and services for children, youth, women, seniors and families in the Region of Peel since 1985. At the heart of our organization is the desire to help clients lead healthy and productive lives. Through our programs and services, we help empower and inspire clients to build on their strengths and find solutions to overcome the challenges they face.

Children's Program

Children

We believe that during their formative years, children depend on the care and support of parents, family members and other caring adults within their communities. At RootsCS, children in our program are given a sense of comfort, safety and belonging as they explore new horizons, stretch their imagination and develop pro-social skills at their pace. The following are our children’s programs:

Youth Program

Youth

Understanding who they are, loving who they are and having a sense of belonging to their communities are important factors in the positive growth of our youth. We offer a number of programs and projects geared toward helping our young people build their confidence, learn about their identities and deal with challenges they face in day-to-day life.

Women's Program

Women

We’re committed to supporting women who have experienced domestic abuse and sexual violence. This program helps women who have suffered abuse to make a fresh start. We support clients as they find their voice, build confidence and make important decisions for themselves and their children. We offer one-on-one counselling and group sessions, along with other services.

Senior's Program

Seniors

The Healthy Active & Wise Seniors program is a thriving hub for seniors. It helps build a sense of pride and well-being through activities that improve health, wellness, quality of life, personal independence and community life. Clients engage in leisure and recreational activities focused on fellowship, fun, relaxation and education.

Families Card

Families

The bedrock of a vibrant community is healthy, happy individuals and strong, cohesive families. However, there are many positive factors such as high employment, low poverty rate, strong education system, health care system, a sense of belonging, that are required to ensure individuals and families become and remain strong contributors to the growth of their community.
