360 Kids is the cornerstone of youth support groups in York Region communities, supporting and assisting 1,000's of kids every day, week, month or year and helping children or teenagers get the help they need to go to college/university, have a safe accessible home, help transition through a crisis and be surrounded with care.

360ºkids began over 29 years ago as two separate agencies

Made to meet or address the needs of York Region communities.

The Markham Neighborhood Support Center was created to respond to the needs of young families with children who sought support and ways to learn about child-rearing.

Youth Housing Markham was created to provide safe and supportive housing for youth who could no longer live at home due to certain factors.

These two agencies combined together to form the Pathways for Children, Youth and Families of York Region Inc in 1998.

The organization offers programs and supports families, children, homeless and at-risk youth in York Region.
