PROGRAM UPDATE:
DUE TO RENOVATIONS AT SHERIDAN CENTRE, 180:MERGE HAS BEEN TEMPORARILY SHUTDOWN. STAY TUNED FOR UPDATES ON A NEW LOCATION.
A Free, safe space for youth ages 14-19 to CONNECT with friends,
play games, and study.
Leadership
Walking, running, climbing. Your feet will be put to the test.
Community
The fastest way to reach results is to monitor the progress you make.
Games
By slowly raising the weight bar, we are able to built muscles safely.
Free programming
We exist to give youth a safe, FREE space to connect in their community. We opened in August, 2012 and have been in our current space serving youth since 2014. All of our programming is free and accessible for ALL youth while our team of adult volunteers are there to support, encourage, and uplift every youth that walks through our doors. We’d love to meet you!
Leadership team
Each year at 180:Merge we give youth in the community the opportunity to learn leadership skills and give back. Over the course of a school year, we guide a group of youth through 14 unique leadership lessons that we believe are crucial to their development as leaders. They also have the opportunity to volunteer at 180:Merge and assist staff with maintaining the space and operating our Snack Shack. Applications open in August of each year, for more info email Brooker at [email protected] or message us on Instagram (@180merge). Get an application here.

What Our youth say
I applied for the leadership program and I feel like that really helped me assimilate myself into the community and make friends.

It's good to know that there are people out there that are actually interested in knowing our names and knowing how we are and that's what I really like about 180:Merge.
