 The
John Howard Society of Niagara is a non-profit organization
that was established in 1949 and offers innovative programs
which help build a sense of community. One of the many
programs established was the Career Clinic in St. Catharines
in 1976.
In 1981, Youth and Community Employment Services (YACES)
was established with funding provided predominately
by the Ministry of Training, Colleges and Universities.
The funding was directed primarily at youth. It started
in St. Catharines then expanded to the Welland and Fort
Erie areas.
The
John Howard Society of Niagara has two main categories
of programs - corrections and employment.
 Corrections
programs include the Community Service Order, Volunteer
Probation, Intermittent Work, Diversion, and Bail programs.

Employment
programs would include Job
Finding Club and the Job
Connect program.
 December
1998 brought a new look to YACES called Job Gym. This
new look enables youth to easily identify, remember
and feel at ease with our services while relating searching
for employment to attending a gym.
Job Gym is still funded primarily by MTCU, but also
receives funding from other sources such as Service
Canada.
Job Gym staff are trained in many employment related
areas and are involved in staffing different resource
areas, providing one on one employment counselling and
referrals, presenting information to local high schools,
conducting Job Fairs, providing a variety of workshops
and much more.
