Working Together for a Thriving Community

Shelldale Family Gateway excels as a charitable organization, built from a vision for a neighbourhood of healthy children, healthy families, and healthy communities. Our respectful and multicultural approach strives to meet the needs of a diverse community, offering programs and supports that improve lives, and have been transforming the neighbourhood for over twenty five years. Located in Guelph's Shelldale Centre, we provide an integrated service model through experienced staff and hundreds of dedicated volunteers, working closely with community partners. Shelldale Family Gateway is a provider of EarlyON Programs (for ages 0-6) serving Wellington County, as well as our specialized programs funded through grants and donations which address the unique needs of children, youth, and families in the Onward Willow neighbourhood.

About our Organization

We have evolved from a vision for a neighbourhood of healthy children, healthy families, and healthy communities. As part of a hub of social service agencies within the Shelldale Centre, we work from one integrated location; with a wide range of programs for every family member: infants to seniors. Programs are multicultural and community driven, reflecting the ever-changing nature of the neighbourhood.
